Love your pond.Thanks for sharing.

[@GreymsView-ix8yi]

Wow a great video Mark and perfect timing for me to find it. I am going to try and breed Koi and goldfish this year. I subscribed my friend.

[@tracyhill7960]

I love your detail and demeanor. Thank you

The MVP of the FishTube community. Another great video Mark, thanks!

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Thanks for watching

[@paisleykitty7]

Sitting in front of my goldfish and koi ponds when I got notification for this video. Was just thinking I need to get a couple spawning mops....then you showed us how to make them. THANK YOU! Perfect timing 🙂

[@nicholaslandsiedel6727]

Cool video Mark. Great info and that certainly is a cool looking fish too!

[@ianprice8973]

Brilliant posting Mark, I've been scrolling the net for 18 months now trying to get advice on breeding koi/goldfish, not high brow expensive procedures just grassroots advice, you've just provided that. I love the idea of duckweed as a food source, I've been using boiled egg and mashing it up with pond water, quite successfully mind. 👍👍

[@jamesnguyen7069]

usually after a rain fall

[@PracticalReefer]

Great video! Some absolutely stunning fish in that pond!

[@ianspicer3885]

Very interesting Mark look forward to watching them hatch and grow 😊👍👍👍

[@Kidkster1]

Top quality as always Mark, I can't wait to see these fry coming up... I have a few Danio fry coming up myself thanks to your series on breeding... Thanks Mark😁😁

[@kenmaples6856]

Beautiful set up. Relaxing.

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Thank you!

[@mamag8753]

Can’t wait to see the Fry

[@twunderaquatics1770]

I don't have Koi but Shubunkins. For some reason they are a favorite of mine. The first small garden pond I ever seen had a group of these and I was in love ever since. I had about 15 babies survive from last season without doing anything. Great vid.

[@aurograce2983]

I personally want to breed Wakin wirh Shubunkin to see what happens. Will they get double tails? Will they be blue or orange or white or spotty? What shape will the be?

[@mikekayanderson408]

looking forward to the next video - K

[@duotone69]

Mark don’t take this the wrong way but you could get nuns to spawn. You are the Barry White of the fish world.

[@RobsAquariumRoom]

Beautiful koi pond

[@rickbooher8224]

You can use a polarizing filter and in a pinch polarized sunglasses to block the glare for future video I have a filter and have used the sunglass method with great results. It like when you go fishing with polarizing lens on sun glasses you can see clearly to the bottom without the reflection. Just a photo tip.

[@leebutcher1294]

Great video mark

[@joshszooofanimals5416]

Awesome Video 😁👍 notification squad 👏

[@nemonbuckery5512]

Love this video!!!!!🙂

[@TheCuggsmeister]

Nice video. I also like the new outro.

[@aLfPlaysGames]

My brother and I really love your videos and always look forward to the next! We are viewers in Maryland, USA with the Chesapeake Bay in our backyards! I have always wanted to know what sort of critters were in there! Much love!

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Thanks for watching guys 😀👍

[@gavinpowell8538]

Can't wait for part 2. Have you done a vid on how you keep your pond looking so clean. If not, can you?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

No not yet but I will.

[@Ravan_Caw]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@johnamos7070]

Hi mark, I’ve watched your video on spawning mops , could there be a problem when you put your mop into the pond with already established floating plants. Thank you John Amos

[@micheler3011]

Thanks for sharing, lovely koi’s. Just subscribed to your channel! How do you keep your koi’s from eating your lilies?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

They leave them alone. Just make sure you put big stones around the top of pot or they'll dig them out.

[@Shaden0040]

Professional Koi breeders cull out the largest of the koi fry to prevent them from eating the smaller better paterned koi fry. And some will grow super fast, while other wil grow at. a moderate speed and still other will grow infitesimally slow. The medium ones and slow growers are those that should have the best genetics for some reason.

[@cannibalholiday]

A polarized filter will do wonders for filming top down on water :)

[@ciasarah376]

I have a 1/2 acre pond,my niece 3 yrs ago put some young koi in it and this yr we have seen dozens of koi babies about 2 inches long.My 3 yr olds are almost a ft long.Can i transefer the babies to a spring we have?

[@ManojKumar-qn7fb]

Hi .. Nice video .. how long did you keep the mob in your pind..

[@petercurro8899]

At what water temperature do they start breeding?

[@davidanderton2437]

Do you have to use real wool for the spawning mop or is an artificial fibre ok?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

You can use other fibers but make sure you boil them as some have preservatives on them

[@Legzakimbo2002]

Great video Mark, can't wait to see the fry. Is it true that goldfish can happily breed with koi? How are the padawan Gobi-Three Kenobi+ all doing?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Yes they can interbreed. Sadly the Goby's didn't make it. But I have a new plan for the next batch.

[@Legzakimbo2002]

@@MARKSAQUATICS ah, that's a shame. If anyone can successfully breed gobies from the wild and raise them, it is you.

[@lawrencekemp2125]

Mark is there a way I can send you a picture, of what I think is a newt of some kind, for your excellent identification skills? I'm not 100% sure what to do with it next. I believe it made it into my tank on some elodea from my pond.

[@johncox8882]

You did not explain why or when to add the mops. Please help with this timing issue as it has been my only fault in the past with goldfish.

[@SteveSandersonArt]

wait for a really warm day, late Spring May/June. You often see the goldfish starting to chase, but even if not, if its been a hot day, get the mops in, in the evening and they should spawn the following morning early, so long as the temps' remain up.

[@Shaden0040]

you need an umbrella to shade behind your head to cover the refletions in the tub of eggs.

[@alecsunderdj]

Hi Mark , I have a pond with goldfish since almost 3 years now . I still feed them flakes ( looks like they enjoy it ) but I was wondering if I have to give them sticks ? Thanks

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Hi flake food is fine but as they grow they'll need more food so pellet and stick food is the way to go. Give them high protein in the summer.

[@alecsunderdj]

Thanks a lot

[@UncalBertExcretes]

Do your fish breed all summer or just in the spring like wild carp?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Normally between May and June for my goldfish but the koi can go at any time in spring and summer.

[@UncalBertExcretes]

@@MARKSAQUATICS Thanks mate that probably explains why goldfish don't really breed in the home aquarium with no real seasonal variation with the water temperature

[@SuperKoi123]

How do you new there all cold fish eggs ?. Can you get pink gold fish ?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Only the goldfish spawned on this occasion

[@edgarhackney751]

Can you use a regular mop head for a breeding mop

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Yes you probably could, just give it a good rinse first.

[@renomacca1967]

how big is your bobble hat???????????

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

🤣😂👍

[@violettenewman8686]

Hi Mark. Can you check your MSN messages please.

[@johnamos7070]

Hi Mark is there anyway I can email you to get help with breeding . Thank you in advance J A
