My Koi Breeding Project - Part 39 - Spawning postponed, update on Goshiki, Kujaku and 2019 tosai

As the large number of Goshiki fry continue to grow and thrive space is becoming an issue and the reality of another spawning in 2020 highly unlikely.
We look at the 2019 born tosai which, together with the female parents have all been moved to the main pond.
The Kujaku become a potential issue in that they occupy more pond space than they justify, especially with the burgeoning crop of Goshiki.
Decisions to be made.....

[@saionnthia]

Loving your collection Mark & the fry is full of potential.

[@nicke6394]

Serious quantity of fry there 👍👏

[@candiedragon]

I'm glad to have joined along this journey. Thank you for sharing

[@jeffr1311]

You have done a great job Mark. And I think this is your best video yet. I definitely look forward to watching these two spawnings develop. Two of my favorite varietys.

[@IcenI_Koi]

WOW amazing results this year Mark ! Following with extreme interest.

[@andybaldeo4773]

These guys have grown very well and beautiful can't wait to see the goshiki and kujacku

[@Tom-qf5jq]

Looks great, thanks for showing the spawning from last year!

[@goldencorndiarys1458]

Love your videos so much knowledge I could listen to you for hours ,I do kept a few kio but in a what I would call more of a natural pond my kio have spawned this year I have removed some eggs they hatched a few weeks ago and are tiny still compared to yours thank you for great videos katrina x

[@jeffharris96]

If you don’t end up with at least 100 absolutely stunning fish from that lot there’s something wrong with the universe! Absolutely made up for you but wow that’s a lot of fry.. time to start digging a mud pond in the neighbourhood 😆

[@doubleryukin5144]

Really interesting content thank you Goshiki fry amazing numbers should be a great summer autumn...

[@KJM.72]

Hi Mark cracking results with both spawnings definitely a couple of days selecting through all them 🤞 you don't have to select fry from the big pond 😂 well done pal

[@MikeZak101]

I thought you were exaggerating about moving 5000 to another tank, i don't think i have ever seen anything like that, well done mate

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

Plan to remove 10000, 5000 to each outside tank. I don’t think it will make much impression on the total number inside.

[@PaulsKoipond]

last years babies...amazing growth

[@LeilanixD]

Love these vids, keep it up. What do you do with the extra fish? Could you run us through the process of selling (on what medium) / getting rid of them? Thanks

[@philmaddin8114]

Hi mark another brilliant video mate I know it’s a lot of work but I’d be well happy your going to have so many absolutely amazing koi can’t believe how many you have got lol

[@chrisanson7972]

well done mate, keep up the good work.

[@RedEyedFRONTOSA]

You’re breeding skills are amazing!!! Where do I buy those large nets you using to spawn and hold the fry in? I’m in the 🇺🇸! Thanks!

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

Hi, the one with the Goshiki fry and the one used for spawning were bought in Japan. The one outside with the Kujaku in are made by Norfine Nets in the UK.

[@samsummers9]

What do you do with the ones you don’t want

[@RedondoBeach2]

Turned into fish pellets?

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

A friend takes them

[@user-nw6wl7py8k]

Thanks for more great content. I was wondering about your covers. i would like to do something similar for my round tanks ready for Autumn. Does rain water fill them up?

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

They certainly do, I realised the design flaw after making them. The first time it rained it was confirmed. Need to be adjusted to be tilted slightly and the have a small piece of top baton to enable drainage.

[@user-nw6wl7py8k]

@@MarkGardnerNTVfree Thanks Mark. Not what I wanted to hear though! Maybe I'll catch a glimpse of the modification in a future video. Good luck with everything.

[@jamielynn7674]

man I'd love to buy your rejects... but I live all the way here in the US. Even your rejects are worlds better than what's available here.

[@davebrown4470]

Hi mark I was wondering do you sell any of your fry I love goshiki and karakuls and I would love to grow on some of yours you do an amazing job.

[@laurenceklunder]

Wow! sick many Goshiki Mark! ( can i have some :D ) really amazing! what you gone do with them all! ? selecting them on Yellow once 1 tank and 1 tank with white once ?

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

Yellow and white will stay mixed together for now.

[@michaela-be4le]

Culling is a task with mixed emotion; I always think of trying to grow out the whole spawn :)

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

Realistically impossible/impractical, unless you have endless space you risk compromising everything and end up with nothing. In the wild there would be a natural selection, that’s why there are so many to start.

[@ukanglingltd]

Will you be selling them buddy

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

Not publicly at the moment

[@muhammatrama567]

Adek Davidson cukup pak nanti sajalah suatu bulan aja banyak-banyak banyak banget ya

[@xiong2moua]

Did you guys see the door behind him opened and closed on its own?

[@xiong2moua]

Check it out during the 1st few minutes of the video.
