I’ve watched a good few of videos of yours in recent weeks and am buoyed by yours and Alex’s enthusiasm and good nature. What gives me solace is that I believe that there are more good than bad people in this world and you and Alex have buoyed that belief. Hats off to you.

When I was a kid we had a pond, and my grandfather got a call from a guy that he has a bunch of fish in his pond on a property he bought that he wants gone. He got me several garbage bins lined with plastic and a giant net. We arrived at the property and dredged the pond getting out a couple hundred fish and brought them back home and put them in our pond at home. The fish ended up being koi, and our pond is now full of hundreds of them. I used to go swimming and they'd swim around me and my friends, they are very friendly and curious. I live in upstate NY so they get a similar temperate climate that they are familiar with. It's been about 25 years and I don't even know how many different generations live in the pond now, but I always visit them whenever I go back home.

Thank you for broadening my horizons when it comes to Koi. Such a Beautiful fish , art in motion.

"Fish can bring about a sense of calm and serenity to a busy life." Me, cycling my 10g tank for the first time in years: aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA It's stressing me out so much. But watching my little betta in the tiny 2.5g unfiltered (temporary until I get the 10g cycled! But still heated and all of that) makes me smile so much. I can't wait to get him into the larger tank. He's really one of the "broken but beautiful" types. He had finrot, one of his dorsal fins has _major_ chunks out of it. It took him close to a week to come out of hiding. He kept the damaged dorsal close to his body for several days to the point he had some buoyancy problems. But after a couple of weeks, I'm seeing new fin growth where there had previously been holes. He goes nuts when I even pass by the tank. He still hides a fair bit, but that's just his personality. And you know what? That's okay. I love him so much. His name is Edwin

[@sonsofkojimarip]

Take care of Edwin, treat him well, feed him lots of bloodworms, brine shrimp, and high quality betta pellets, a diverse diet is the best for them!

[@StandTallTx]

Don't get animals if you're not going to take care of them properly. Fish are no different than cats and dogs.

[@sffb8295]

@@StandTallTx This comment was uncalled for. The OP clearly loves Edwin very much and would no doubt do whatever it takes to give him the best life. There is a time and place for lecturing, and this clearly isn't it.

That might be the best edited video I have ever seen. The visuals, music, narration, information, even the story of the trip. Truly master class.

[@infasis]

Such awesome shots of interesting spots, serene landscapes, and an unbelievably beautiful country. What a fantastic video.

[@sashaschmidt6519]

Great video! I have always loved koi fish and you make me want to visit those farms too. It was amazing how your love of koi fish came through in this video. Made me really excited haha

[@speedrat6507]

After working at a petco and seeing fish constantly die from lack of care, the culture and passion for these koi makes me so happy to see.

[@no-xq1fb]

yeah, hate to see fish in a store probably to be bought by a owner that dosent know what theyre doing

[@rcslyman8929]

@@no-xq1fb Even when you do know what you're doing, it can be difficult with tank fish. I've got two goldfish that are 10+ years old. I'm also on my 3rd Black Moor as the other two didn't make it past a couple weeks. I had a fancy goldfish go to the brink of death and come back, only to perish a few months later (swim bladder and probably other problems), while I have a fan tail calico that's rivaling the size of my 3 year old goldfish (incidentally, that goldfish was found in a travel container laying on a small layer of pebbles inside and was almost completely devoid of water... obviously he managed to live). And I can't even imagine with pond fish. My backyard neighbor had a pond in his yard, and man... during the summer, there'd be this huge blue heron you could see in the trees out back. That thing would just pick his fish off in pairs.

I’ve had my random goldfish for 6 years, it lives alone in a massive tank. It got sick once and I spent $75 on medicine

can confirm. was just at petco and my five year old picked up like 5 dead beta cups

[@Forgotten_Moon]

I never thought I would love Koi fish until one day, my parent brought me to a manor Coffee in the mountain. That was like a garden with a huge pond. And there were so many Koi swimming. And I notice their pattern and color for some reason I don't know why. I thought it was an illusion but later when I went to the lavatory I found that there were many Koi fish illustrated books around. Then I realize the reason that makes me feel special to those Koi fish. I start to understand their beauty since then

[@mischa6688]

When I first found out people collect fountain pens worth thousands of dollars, I had the same reaction to this video. Wow! Highly informative though.

[@Hichigo111]

Great documentary. It is incredible to me how good the quality of self-produced content on youtube has become. Keep up the good work.

Never been particularly interested in Koi, they're nice enough, pretty colors but mmmmm.... Still I watched this video and was taken by the superb storytelling . The entire presentation was a delight. And they are v pretty so perhaps I need to investigate more.
