My Koi Breeding Project - Part 30 - Kujaku Spawning - Part 2

[@RS20O0]

Great footage Mark, well done and thank you. The behaviour of the kujaku male warding off the other male is something I've never seen before and wouldn't believe without having seen your previous video.

[@JAG1651]

Congrats on the spawning Mark...Thanks to your dedication and perseverance, they got there in the end....Following with interest the next couple of weeks etc....Well done mate!

[@dalboy247]

Great video again and can't wait to see the fry grow. Must be very happy now. Good luck and keep the updates coming. Loving everyone videos in these lockdown times.

[@KoiChronicles]

I knew it 😉 Whoop! Whoop! Well done fella and some superb footage. #edgeofmyseat 👏🙏⛩️🈂️KC

[@KJM.72]

Excellent vlog really pleased for you Mark should get some fantastic fry 🤞

[@justanotherfaceinthecrowd]

Glad it worked out for you mate.. if you use a red light the fish can’t see it so you can watch without them being disturbed

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

there's enough ambient light to see them anyway, just not film clearly.

[@andybaldeo4773]

I love how you can get so good videos of them spawning... Awesome work Mark

[@angrybrit7331]

It definitely got her going putting him in mate 👌 really happy for you! Looking forward to following the progress! 👏👏👏

[@andybaldeo4773]

Yes that sound when I wake up early and go check them is great I just leave them be and come back later.... Nice work

[@russelladams7053]

Oh yes lovely koi would love some of them baby's

[@garydrablow853]

Hi Mark. Great news. I watched last years spawning vids and this year seemed much more successful. Hopefully some fantastic looking fry

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

Fingers crossed. Some lessons learned from 2019, particularly in preparation of the female, and more thought given to placement of spawning brushes.

[@beefyslife3473]

Well they certainly made good use of they're time together. Well done and you must be knackered.

[@amandadonegan2137]

Two of the most stunning Koi lve ever seen....l hope there were good fry!

[@CapeFearKoi]

Congratulations! Looks to be something to look forward to.

[@johncope7471]

[@philmaddin8114]

I bet your well happy mark to have your main selected couple spawn must be well exciting and even more to see wot they produce I will deffo have a couple of you if want to sell any

[@drkempo]

Congrats mark, all that effort hopefully will pay off

[@drkempo]

4 years Mark, I hope you're showing those up there how good you were at breeding those beautiful Kujaku, I just wish we could of done a deal on one of your Red Kujaku. 😢

[@grantcane5447]

Awesome footage, great editing, best of luck,

[@paulcole4902]

You will definitely get some good baby koi from them

[@sephuk]

Yes mate! Something to do while all the shows are cancelled ;)

[@fuzzbuzztk]

id be interested in some of the fry from these if you plan on selling some choice :)

[@ACKoi]

Good luck 👍

[@vangl34]

Curious as to why you didn't choose to artificially inseminate to increase the fertilization rate instead opted for the natural process?

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

L Vang - this year fully planned to do so, have McDonald hatching jars imported from USA especially for the purpose. Unfortunately UK social distancing rules due to Corona meant that I would have had to carry it out on my own. As such decided to go with natural. Even an average fertilisation rate, given the number of eggs, will be more fry than I can likely accommodate at present so not a major problem anyway.

[@jheetogle3912]

Hi sir if the male koi is done breeding can I use it again to the other female koi at the same month?

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

Yes, no problem

[@jheetogle3912]

@@MarkGardnerNTVfree thank you sir

[@tahimassociates2048]

Hi Mark, where can I get the mesh net you used for your spawning?

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

All detailed here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHqvhISjfrBmiZY

[@michaelsdetects8527]

Seems very successfull. Can the mallikite be put in while spawning ,which would make more sense to me rather than later. Thanks for a great vid

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

nope, you can actually add malachite green to a pond to stop Koi spawning!!

[@michaelsdetects8527]

we learn something every day! thankyou

[@al20o33]

you probably needed much warmer water

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

Keith Gregory why did I need warmer water?

[@al20o33]

@@MarkGardnerNTVfree You are right, I learned from watching the videos on the Japanese Koi breeding farms where warm water temperatures was one of the the things they mentioned was important for the koi to spawn. So, since it appeared cold in your video I thought maybe that was a reason it took more time to get the spawn going. If I am wrong then sorry.
