Well it's only because you have 'pushed' me that I decided to go for it, even if I had already paid for it. BUt yeah I can see that now

THank you - Much appreciated

Hi Lau. I could feel your pain and then your excitement. The new large scale male will be interesting to follow

Hi, how are you? Yeah I am still pretty gutted but I guess I have to let go now...

[@nhoque...7223]

Thanks you for sharing. So nice 🍹

Thank you for watching and commenting. Much appreciated

[@KoiRun50]

Wow beauties 💕 You KNOW how to pick koi! I like how you’ve taken two and moved on two.

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Thank you Sid, I am still gutted really about the black ginrin kawarigoi that jumped at the koi dealer. Such a shame, there arent many about with the ginrin just on the scales... but hey.. Yes, that was the deal in my head, if I was getting these two, then two had to be moved on.

[@martincsreefandkoi]

Nice new additions really like the black and white one

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Hi Martin, thank you, large scaled Hajiro, I think if he grows well, he will be stunning.

[@DerbyKoi]

Hi Lau sorry about the lost fish i knew how much you wanted it and I'm sure you will find something just as good but at least you have two new additions to your pond now. Stay safe Andy👍

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Hi Andy, yeah it's a real shame 😔 but the replacement is the hajiro. An interesting koi which I am sure I will enjoy watching it develop.

Loving the new intro Lau. The 2nd fish looks really interesting and looking at the pictures you put up of a similar one, it definitely looks like a good risk. Both of the new additions are stunners 😍

Hi, how are you? I thought the build was starting in March?

@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection Fine and yourself, lol haven't set foot in my koi LFS since last year so don't know what's happening or even if my drums turn up. got stuck on this marine malarky.

A couple of stunners there lau

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Thank you Sharpey, really pleased with those two.

[@JamieLawrence88]

Nice new additions Lau, I like your taste in koi I'm not a huge gosanke fan either prefer the weird and wonderful. Pond looking so lovely with all the greenery got me buying more plants for round mine. Cheers!

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Hi, thank you, I like a nice showa, but kohaku and sanke hm.. not keen. So you went out and get some plants :-)

Lovely addition to your pond Lau really sad about your first choice stay safe 🙏🐟🐟🐟🙏

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

thank you Carol, yes a little bit irritating... took me a year to source one. but hey...

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

Hi Lau, such a shame about the Kawarigoi, looked a lovely fish. However the replacements are as equally stunning😍 Very looking forward to seeing the golden corn progress, as you said such a hard variety to predict. Great video, take care🙏

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Thank you, gosh yes you should have seen it in real, it looked like each scale was a tiny light. It was quite something...

[@alancurtis1388]

two lovely koi

Thank you Alan.

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

Awww man,,, oh no... Sorry my friend.. that is heartbreaking. Cool replacement.. I think it will turn into a beauty ..

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

I think so too... But yes, it is such a shame.

[@hertskoi]

lovley two new koi for the pond

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Thank you. They are doing really well and developing nicely

[@mykoiobsession]

Loving the new fish especially the hiroji. I have never seen anything like them before. I have always had a thing for black and white koi like kumonryu so the hiroji would be my pick, not sure about the other. Will be interesting to see how it develops and if it achieves what you are hoping for it. Cheers.

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

I knew you would quite like the hajiro :-) he is really nice, he is definitely growing on me, the video doesnt do him justice but looking at them from the top, he is really nice

[@stevenlane2641]

Two very interesting koi additions to your pond. Will be fascinating to see the development of both fish, particularly the first one, will it turn completely black, looks great as it is. The golden corn my be a bit more of a risk, but a worthwhile one. Will follow with interest. Ponds looking great, stay safe and well 👍🏻

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

HI Steven, I agree, I am looking for the development for the Hajiro. Such an unusual breed. Looking at it, I think he will be white belly (but that's normal), but my bet is that he will become much darker especially as I have hard water, but will have some white tips on the scales. Looking at the pectoral fins, they are fully white (except a line through, I cant see them turning fuly black. BUt we will see, he has just turned nisai and he was fully white 3 months ago.

[@johnrodgers2750]

Hi Lau good choices will be interesting on how the golden corn comes out

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Hi John, yes both are a bit of a project. Video probably didn't do them justice but they do stand out.

Great vid Lau. Hope your new fish develop according to your expectations.😀👍 How big is your pond?

Hi, We will see :-) it's 3 m long by 1.80 wide by 1.20 m deep (internal dimensions)

[@CBersPond]

A nice looking Hajiro (?), with great scalation. The Golden Corn is unusual, but worth a gamble. Shame about the jumper 😢 Are you going to the Young Koi Show this coming weekend? Hope your phone was OK. Stay safe.

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Hi, No I am not going to the show. Yes hone was OK, the sound was like mono sound for a couple of minutes.. 🙄 Yes the first one is a large scaled Hajiro.

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

I think you got good tips from Ricky and Danny .. should be nice koi too

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Most definitely. 🙂

[@ColossalKoi]

Hey my girl Lau❤.. how did that Golden Corn turn out.. awesome video

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Hey my man. He grew very quickly but like a lot of white corn, he got some black patches which is the throw back from the asagi so I gave him away to someone who couldn't afford large fish.

[@Tom_Prendiville]

I did watch the other day but I can't believe i didn't comment, my apologies 😳😉 It's a shame about the one that jumped and I'm sure even though it was replaced you will still be searching for another one.

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Haha don't encourage me or I might have to extend the pond sooner than planned 😉

[@carlostheeggman]

Hi lau, can I just ask a quick question about your sleeper pond as I am building one myself in the next couple of month, Have you had any trouble with the walls bowing or any movement ? Any help would be much appreciated Love your videos 🙏 Thanks, Carl

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Hi Carl, I have the large sleepers on their side and I have put 25 rebars in so the walls can't bow. If you watch some.of my earlier video you'll see. If you don't put rebars in, they will bow with the force of the water.

[@carlostheeggman]

@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection thanks so much for reply I am going to binge watch your episode I’m half way through now 🤣 thanks lau

[@ItsWhatIDo]

Such a shame about the one that jumped. It will be interesting to see how the new fish develop. I'm not 100% sure I like the golden corn variety. I think it will take seeing them for a while for them to grow on me I think. They both look lovely fish in shape and quality but I think I prefer the black and white.

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Hi Jim, yeah same here. I am not 100% sure but i just want to see how he develops. I like the way the white ones have developed at Koi Wholesale, whether this one will develop the same way, I don't know. But he does look good in the pond so far. Hopefully he will grow on me too.

Shame about your koi.but you have 2 beautys now to enjoy.

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Thank you, real shame, the scalation was outstading... but best it happened at the koi dealer rather than in my pond... I would have been absolutely devasted... and really angry.

[@dare-bear9842]

I think thats a aragoke kumonryu not hajiro

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Aragoke kumonryu?? Technically impossible as kumonryu are fully doitsu so I think it's more of a made-up name when people mix a bit of everything. Large scaled hajiro for sure, quite common especially from Kanno farm. This one is fully scaled to the belly line.

[@dare-bear9842]

@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection i mean aragoke just means armored scales aragoke koi are doitsu koi that are fully covered in oversized doitsu scales

@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection kzbin.info/www/bejne/qanPeplrfq2qeposi=Ch0ke3uAb2I4BKcg if you watch this video rick from Koi Wholesale would explain to you that its just a doitsu kumonryu

@dare-bear9842 ok 🙂 not sure Kanno koi farm would appreciate being told that his large scaled hajiro, bred feom a male hajiro would appreciate 😀 This one is definitely a hajiro due to the shape and fave shape.
