[@dannycurrie1]

Incredible fish. Amazing to see such a variety of jumbo koi in one place

[@TimWaddington]

It’s an amazing place

[@Coloradokoi]

Absolutely beautiful & informative post - you are appreciated

[@scottcannings2746]

Oh my days, Amazing fish, how do they do it, wish my fish would grow like that, stunners, great videos Tim.

[@JhunDumsTVXj]

Wow beautiful

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Absolutely wonderful 👏👍😊. I would take any of those fish from any of the ponds but some jaw dropping examples in the main pond👍🐟🈲😊

[@keepingitkoi]

I just don't know what more to say but wow 😍 I can't wait to go 👍

[@paulrowlands8666]

Wow some stunning koi. Wish I had a pond to have my own fish 😩

[@RS20O0]

Yet another great video, some great snippets of information, a hatrick this week. Starting to sound like you know what you're talking about 😄

[@TimWaddington]

Just luck!

[@joelo7135]

That 5 step kohaku. My goodness

[@suzypennycook3047]

I loved that Shiro Utsuri. I would really like a small one to grow on.

[@perranwilliams1263]

Wow definitely need to add Japan to bucket list

[@maryswanson9982]

I always pick out the koi I would most like to have in your videos, even though I don’t have a pond. Thanks!

[@Smog104]

Worth a watch again Tim and some excellent insight and commentary on the various business models of the koi breeders . How could any so called koi snob not appreciate the beauty In this koi house sone truly drop dead gorgeous Koi

[@jamescolley1806]

Mate that Ki Utsuri is insane.

[@simonduncan8327]

The filtration must be gargantuan in this fish house the ponds are densely stocked the filters must be MASSIVE

[@koikanalen]

love it ! must be nice to be back in Japan 🙂

[@geoffwinn3884]

Thanks for sharing as usual Tim - great that we are all getting our koi fix but not as much as I’m sure you are 😉I really love the 88cm Kindai showa. It’s about time a showa won GC at the BKKS National

[@TimWaddington]

Alas she is heading to the USA

[@joewalker1130]

This is like fish heaven. What is the stuff they spray on the fish in the measuring bowls

[@TimWaddington]

Alcohol spray to clear bubbles

[@hobbyfishchannel3120]

Good videos....😍😍😍🤝🤝🤝

[@koikarma5363]

👍👍👍👍

[@aquaticnut86]

That main pond is incredible Tim. I’m interested in purchasing a showa that can stay in Japan for a few years. Can you give me a ballpark idea on prices and how everything works please as I’ve never done anything like this, also I live the states will that be a problem? Thanks Tim

[@henryjannavares]

as a koi lover I am so fun in your koi I hope I can get them

[@missvmartin6571]

Possibly 4 times out of 5 when I'm browsing koi on web sites, see one I like and click for more info it turns out to be Maruhiro. I currently have a vat with 10 new koi in and 4 are Maruhiro.

[@TimWaddington]

Some great Koi to be had for sure. They also last a long time and keep the quality

[@jeffcollins1278]

Great video Tim Could you tell Me how much do one of them 80-90 cm koi cost approx pls

[@koihellas]

Very good information on breeders. Thank you Tim. For me Maruhiro, Marusei, Hiroi are the best value for money breeders and which we can afford. One question what are they spraying on fish? Hydrogen Peroxide for disinfection?

[@TimWaddington]

It’s just an alcohol spray to clear bubbles

[@perranwilliams1263]

Stunning koi in main pond, what sort of budget are these koi 10k+?

[@TimWaddington]

And more… much more!

[@suzypennycook3047]

I saw another youtuber's video on this pond. He quoted the fish were £10k and up.

[@leeoliver4063]

Tim do you measure your koi to the v in the tail or to th end of the tail ,

[@TimWaddington]

End

[@EatVancouverIsland]

what are they spraying on the water when those gorgeous fish are in the bowl?

[@TimWaddington]

It’s an alcohol spray to clear the bubbles

[@rich81090]

Are the brood stock kept separate or are they in the circular pond? I like the depth of colour it isn’t just all the big 3. As a video idea when you get back home you could talk about each farm and what they do best etc.

[@TimWaddington]

Yes all parent koi are separated

[@jeroennishikigoi1164]

If i ever win the lottery i will buy the whole pond..

[@joshsfishroom7702]

He put the fish in the tub and then used a small spray bottle. Never seen that before. What was that?

[@timbo2clark823]

What sort of percentage on top of the fish purchase does shipping cost

[@TimWaddington]

It’s gone through the roof right now. It’s gone up around 50%

[@timbo2clark823]

@@TimWaddington wow that’s tough for you thanks for the reply 👍

[@HEDST8]

Whats difference between Israel and Japanese koi?

[@TimWaddington]

Quality. Absolutely nothing wrong with Koi from Israel.

[@seanscott1580]

Mad

[@roysimmons4659]

Exceptional fish but what amazes me is why some of these expensive fish handlers wearing metal strapped watches.

[@TimWaddington]

Which can’t go anywhere near the Koi. I’ve been handling large koi for 30yrs and never had an issue.

[@Dane35]

The most overpriced fish in the world
