Fantastic Koi Talk. Two amazing guys. The thing I retained here is that a lot of things within the industry or at the source like the BKKS need to be updated and modernised, but even with modernising, nothing is better than the good old days. Fascinating snippets of history there. Thank you both!

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

I think it’s about doing the industry & the hobby justice. From the majority of comments we get, there’s a lot more to do. Hopefully we can all pull in the same direction

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

@@KoiTalkMagazine well, only guys like the 2 of you can do this.

GREAT VID I NEW WADDY LOVELY TO SEE HE IS NOT FORGOTEN IN THE KOI WORLD RESPECT TO YOU 2 I SHALL WATCH YOUR VIDS FROM NOW ,,HAPPY KOI OWNER FOR 50 YEARS

[@tonybarker428]

This is without doubt the best one you have done , to hear Tim talk about “the old days” was a trip down memory Lane for me , just brilliant 👍😀

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

Thanks Tony, it was a great trip down memory Lane

[@Matsuba81]

Fantastic edition as always , Tim is superb just like Peter was genuine koi people!! You always will have the gang who will want to do nothing more with shows than what is done now because it suits them just fine .

[@leegraham1732]

"There's enough room for every filter in this hobby" now thats what you want to here from a dealer not running another filter down 👍🏻 fantastic video again

[@jdofb]

Great insight and love the straight talking and honesty from both it would be great to see the shows become more open and approachable

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

It’s what we set out to do, straight talking but with a constructive intention to better the hobby & industry for everyone

[@jdofb]

@@KoiTalkMagazine as a hobbyist but an outsider to the ins and outs of shows I love.going but always felt there could be more some of the ideas suggestions to make it more engaging were great all positive not just it's crap it should be better but let's look to improve what's already there Tim and you are reaching a big audience with the you tube stuff alot of them will have never been to a show they need to utilise that to get more people in in my humble opinion 👍

[@trevorwaugh5005]

This is my absolute favourite episode so far, great to hear yer personal opinions on the great variety of topics that ye spoke about. Can't wait for the next episode

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

Thank Trevor, it was a pleasure to make & glad you’ve enjoyed it 😎

[@markdunbar2343]

Very enoyable well done, i first went to infiltration in 1979, it inspired me to go to japan in 1981. I have lived in Perth wa now for 30yrs, still keep koi, just finished a 50,000ltr pond at home and run both a nexus and a drum. Keep up the good work guys.

[@richardbrunton2068]

Two of the top koi heads sitting sharing stories, knowledge and opinions, what a great watch. Cheers Tim cheers Ricky 👍

Me thinks there's a koi show in the making gents 😉 if anyone can bring it into the 21st century maybe it's you 2? 🤔

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

Who knows what the future holds 🤷‍♂️

[@LeTwistedOne]

Absolutely amazing episode guy's 💯 was great hearing Tim talking about his dad, having had the opportunity to work with Peter on his Eric filters he truly was the god father of koi 💯🧁's 👍👍👍

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

Had an Eric myself, couldn’t really fault the performance

[@jasonhind4172]

I really enjoyed that. I've followed Tim for a while now I noticed he had the same surname as Pete but never realised he was his son😁. Tim and Ricky are really making a massive impact in the koi world its really good to see. Especially when everyone is getting together on these collaboration videos. Keep doing what your doing its going a long way chaps👍🏻😉

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

Thanks for your kind words Jason.

[@stevenlane2641]

Fascinating to listen to 2 people with such a wealth of knowledge on buying in Japan and the history of the koi industry. Great video, thanks for sharing. Stay safe and well 👍🏻

Quality chat lads!

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

Thanks!

[@thepeoplespond]

Was waiting for this koi talk and boy it didn’t disappoint, two of the best trading war stories! This was a proper koi talk! Hardly any camera eye contact The BKKS should bring the dealer show back, that would inject it with the impetus it needs Every dealer bringing their weapons out 😎😎

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

Glad you enjoyed it. I think it’s certainly a conversation to be had. Watch this space I guess

[@thepeoplespond]

@@KoiTalkMagazine And if anyone can have that conversation it is people like Ricky and Tim..both have taken koi keeping to the next levels and every koi keeper thanks you for sharing the knowledge and stories 👍👍👍

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

He’s a very influential character in our industry. It was great to chat with him

[@perranwilliams1263]

Brilliant talk, I started keeping koi in 2009 and never knew connection until recently when seen comments on forum, great books and dvds by Peter however glad I stuck with my Nexus even though he told me he’s removed them often after seeing his KZbin video about EA realised there was an issues between him and EA. Ricky and Tim doing great job for us younger generation.

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

Nexus has stood the test of time & very affordable for the results they generate.

[@RS20O0]

Interesting and frank conversation, too many points I'd want to comment on so will stick with just one major issue with the UK hobby/industry/clubs as a whole and that's the reliance on Facebook as a marketing medium. Does nobody realise that FB doesn't fit with the main hobbyist demographic. The vast majority of hobbyists I know do not use FB. It frustrates the hell out of me when a dealer website sends you to FB for the latest info/koi/products etc and without doubt this loses business and custom. I'm certain this impacts a large minority.

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

It’s a powerful tool for some but I get what you mean. It’s not as impactful with certain demographics

[@leeoliver4063]

I bet it was hard for tim to come out of his dads shadow do huge huge shoes to fill, hes earnt his own audiance his you tube is top draw and its always good to listen to everybodys input

[@aquaticnut86]

Fantastic video! What advice would you give for someone wanting to be a koi dealer?

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

Don’t quit the day job 😂. No seriously if you’re interested, get in touch & we’d be happy to go through life as a koi dealer 👍

[@deejaysmi1469]

very good; you need to invite a BKKS judge for a podcast - that would be interesting.

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

It's something we've been discussing too...

[@youtubereview1415]

Jumbo koi dealer 🙈😂

[@RS20O0]

Ok, another comment... Shows should have classes for home bred koi. It's the only way I would put a koi into a show and it would create competition on a whole new level and open up the scene to a majority who will not or cannot afford to invest large sums of money to buy a show-worthy koi that ultimately someone else bred and partially/fully raised.

[@KoiTalkMagazine]

That’s a really interesting idea & I totally see where you’re coming from. A topic to discuss for sure 👍

[@tonybarker428]

That would be really difficult to police

[@RS20O0]

@@tonybarker428 Maybe the odd one will slip through the net but our community is relatively small, and dare I say it, reasonably honest, it can work. Another possibility is "breeders pairs" or even "breeders quads" - groups of up to 4 of your best koi from a spawning and scored/judged as one for an overall points score. The possibilities are quite exciting imo.

[@atsuminaoki9910]

Waddy did not come to see how the Japanese hobbyists were doing in the summer, as did Waddy. I'm sure you two will change many minds. If you get the chance, I'll show you around! 三(卍 ˘ω˘))卍
