My Koi Breeding Project - Part 34 - Goshiki Parents Put Together

In this video, filmed on the morning of 28th May 2020, we put together a female Kawakami Goshiki with 2 males from Kanno Koi Farm, one with Ginrin scales, the other normally scaled.

They were really starting to 'court' werent they. Beautiful Koi and hypnotising to see that. Thankyou.

[@andyw555]

Great to see them bowled up. They look very promising indeed, can't wait to see the results now.

[@chrisgreen1331]

Fingers crossed Mark. As always love to follow the progress.

Hi Mark another great vid and I'm sure you will get some great fry from this mating 👍

[@PaulsKoipond]

the darker male really is a stunning fish...hopefully some beautiful fry

[@andybaldeo4773]

I can't wait to see the babies step by step will help me to learn how to cull goshiki fry when I see u do it and what to look for...

[@jeffharris96]

I’m keeping everything crossed for you, looking forward to the next update 🙂

[@CapeFearKoi]

Stunning! I have a couple of Goshiki tosai I hope to do similar with them in the near future. Good luck with everything!

[@kevinhill9338]

[@madaboutkoi]

Loving that gin rin male matey Best of luck with the spawning 👍🏻

[@ukakilavikumbandara5893]

Nice colour...I love to much that colour

[@Platypus_Warrior]

I believe you are using the fishnet incorrectly. They get in from the loop and out from other end of the sleeve. This way they don't get injured going backwards 0:33

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

Jeremy, thanks for the comments, I'm pretty well versed in how to use a Koi sock. Your comment is completely valid if they were larger fish, fish of this size are not going to get injured they way i did it.

[@philmaddin8114]

Totally stunning fish mark the very best of luck mate

[@huynguyen-ed8rq]

Are you breeding small size koi????? With me, they're not a good size and quality for breed

[@DIYFred]

Nice project! New subscriber here

[@Shot-er4sq]

Hi Mark I am very exited to see the progress on this spawning goshinki is my favorite breed what is the breeders in Japans name that you would recommend buying them from thank you for your very informative video’s I cant wait to watch them all the best with this spawning I am sure you will have great success

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

[@MusaidinChannel]

👍♥️

[@lesramsay1502]

Love your videos Mark , Do you have a main pond you keep all your fish? Any chance we can see that?

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

Les, very small, very ordinary, very old. Was built over 30 years ago in the summer of 1988 when i was 16. A few years ago liner replaced, slightly enlarged, bottom drain added and EazyPod Automatic. It serves a purpose to hold the parents and a few others.

[@lesramsay1502]

Ahh okey dokey , would still be nice to see but all good . You inspired me to try to breed my koi last year. They are about 15 yrs old and I had read that older females eggs are too hard for sperm to penetrate (only bred them once when they were about 4yrs old) but yeah I had decent success. I was going for yellow ogon X shusui to get Ki shusui and I do have 5 that look the part so pretty happy with that. So yeah cheers for the inspiration mate

[@laurenceklunder]

beautiful Ginrin goshiki there! cant wait till you post the fry and developments of them :D should be dark/white fry i guess ?( kohaku is white) ghosiki is a dark fish.. what do you think.

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

Laurence, my experience of Goshiki in Japan and USA is that they are light offspring, even if they later develop as dark fish. Time will tell..........

[@laurenceklunder]

@@MarkGardnerNTVfree Will follow your videos! :D i enjoy and learn from them! gone breed myself some aswell! just thinking about which ones to put together :D ( got a really beatiful 55cm platinum ogon ) female... now just 2 beautiful males.... which ones should i pick :D
