Talk about a absolute stress test! What a busy day for you all! Long haul for those poor koi! It’s amazing how tough they are & you don’t seem to lose any that’s good

[@koikarma5363]

Stunning fish mate.

[@rydillo]

killed ittttttt

[@adamrudge6480]

As you say, that's why you only supply Japanese koi. For these kinds of trips, and I don't blame you one bit haha. 👍

[@andybaldeo4773]

Wish I could of joined u guys I this unboxing ..love it

[@simonkelly2339]

Tim that is effing mental! You need a pair of wellies though next harvest. How about a phdin to the power of elastic bands

[@TimWaddington]

Definitely need willies!

[@TheKevin5303]

Here comes a bigggggy! Then steps in front of camera 😞. Nice shipment was still a fun to watch

[@TimWaddington]

He was doing a video too. So I’ll share that one when it’s out

[@mucky1957.]

Some video..and really great fish..Go Q's..why did some of the bags have cardboard..or paper on one side of them ? are they descriptions of the fish ? Insurance...I'm guessing there is no such thing...and what fish was that at 12.45 on the video..and more to the point..what would something like that cost....how long are the fish kept under observation before being sold on....at 23.50..what was that white bag/box that came out the plastic bag ?

[@gingertom64]

please what are those little white packets that are in the bags with the fish for?

[@TimWaddington]

It’s a product called ALLFISH. It removes ammonia

[@gingertom64]

@@TimWaddington thank you.

[@Djst-zv1sv]

Boss mate

[@tracyweber179]

I have a question Tim since the koi are so expensive most of them are they insured? Like if one dies is it covered or is it a total money loss got the customer/owner?

[@TimWaddington]

Unfortunately no. There is no such service.

[@tracyweber179]

Wow so if a koi is say $10,000 or £10,000 example & it dies you lose that much money! Wow I think go for a lesser price. But you guys seem to have good luck with them all coming back from Japan alive & healthy. I’m Happy for you all & I bet your glad they all made it ok

[@TimWaddington]

@@tracyweber179 we ship the koi safely. They are checked by vets in Japan too. Also the right weather conditions.

[@situkangkayu]

I saw u unboxing one by one used 1 bowl, is that ok if the koi came from different breeder? There are no bacteria crash issues?

[@TimWaddington]

No issues 👍🏻

[@situkangkayu]

Ouw... it’s all because nisai koi? Or we can do the same way to tosai?

[@TimWaddington]

@@situkangkayu you have to know the breeders and have experience with which ones to mix. New breeders go on separate ponds

[@situkangkayu]

@@TimWaddington oh I understand, well thank u for your information

[@upsidediy3945]

Im sceptical this shipment will be worth only $300k.for 16000=$180per koi. But im going to watch the video and see... Looks like $2.7 m went into the shipping.....7:00..... Small butterfly and kois are $6-10/$20=300000. Thanks good seeing what it would look like. Alot of average white and orange big kois. And a few orange and black. From what i see in this video it wasnt all of the fish, but nice size. I havent seen koi that large .theyre usually half the size from ones you have. Haha the big big kois can reach $1k. You just have to keep records of ancestry. And breeding . For $180koi

[@TimWaddington]

Cool.

[@coop3014]

Is it common to have that much blood 🩸 in the water?

[@TimWaddington]

Thankfully no but it happens

[@coop3014]

@@TimWaddington Is there any chance he will let that Matsuba go for $300? Haha 😂

[@chrisclarke7828]

You should be on the stage with all that drama.

[@TimWaddington]

I’m considering it
