KOI POND PLANTS 🌱 Protecting floating pond plants from koi 🌱🐠🐟🐡
****I have since taken the Duckweed out of the koi pond.
I have decided to add some plants to my koi pond for the benefits that can offer, from oxygen to the pond, reducing nitrites, decorative value and this is me trying to create a better eco system for my pond and a better living environment for my koi with the use of koi pond plants/ aquaponics.
I really enjoyed filming this, I didn’t have much of a plan and I adapt as I go. Its not perfect but nothing ever is. I hope you enjoy watching me put the floating pond plants in my koi pond.

END OF SEASON BLUES KICKING IN | I don't know what to say, but I find something 😂 #koi #pond #waffle
Hi Johnny I've recently built a pond its just about finished I've spent quite a bit on it, I've got some fish in a big tub I got gifted off someone, I'm just wondering is it too late in the year to start the pond up or do you think it will be OK? Many thanks Ricky.
Hi mate sounds great. I personally don’t see a problem starting a pond up now, maybe not ideal but I would honestly ask someone with a better level of expertise, like your local koi dealer or something like that mate. Im no expert I’m still a beginner. Good luck
So, in general a pH of anything above 6 and below 8 is completely fine long term for carp and not harmful in any way, being slightly into the acidic side of things can actually be helpful as it prevents the less toxic ammonium from converting into the far more toxic ammonia. A lower pH can also reduce the chances of algae blooms so don't get caught up in thinking 'acid' is a scary word (in terms of melting stuff, alkaline substances act in exactly the same fashion. If you've ever used lime mortar and burned your skin you'll know exactly how). The downside of being slightly acidic is that it slows the whole nitrogen cycle down, organic material won't break down as efficiently However, if the pH rapidly changes or is prone to swings this will cause discomfort or even death so your kH, or buffer, is far more important than the pH overall because it maintains stability. A good method of keeping a good buffer and a neutral/alkali pH balance is to use chalk (calcium carbonate) gravel as a substrate, it'll slowly dissolve over time providing an excellent long term buffer.
Hi mate, thanks for the awesome and informative message. I liked reading this, I did not know about the chalk. Also real interesting hearing about PH as tbh mate mine is about 8.2 and always the same. Cheers mate 🙏
@@koifishjohnny As long as you keep it below 9 and relatively stable you'll be fine. Acidosis tends to happen around 5.5 and alkalosis tends to happen around 9.5 I use agricultural lime on my lake because it's the cheapest and most easily available carbonate source (about a ton per acre) but you can use all sorts of things like limestone, crushed oyster shells, dolomite etc. They are very slow release and work best in running water if available. If it's stable and the fish are happy I probably wouldn't go messing around with it though. My lake is a 600+ year old estate lake of about 2 acres that has been rather neglected over the last 30 years (surrounded by trees and a couple of feet of horrible, stinky silt in places) and I'm currently in the process of restoring it to health on a shoestring budget.
@@DjDolHaus86 some mega information again mate thank you. Sounds like an amazing adventure with the lake mate, I hope it all goes well, I’m sure it will as you know what your doing pal 🙏
@@koifishjohnny Long way to go until we start reversing the damage but it's going mostly to plan so far. Big setback this year as we've realised we're getting runoff from the nearby arable fields but we've taken steps to mitigate this so hopefully we can get the nitrite/nitrate under control.
@@DjDolHaus86 Good luck pal
Thank you for the review, maybe I'm going there on November!
Hi Helea, glad you enjoyed the review of la palma princess. It’s stunning tbh and if you go have a drink for me 🙏
Yo iré también en noviembre 😉
When we arrived the check-in was really long too but they had a fruit and drinks table which was nice.
Ohhhhhh very interesting to hear. I hope they have done that to the check in at la palma princess as it would make it so so so so much better. 🕺🍹
Loved this area been coming since 2008 !! Saw this hotel change to a lopesan they took it over . Brilliant video . Yes i think tui need to makesure the rooms you pay for are given on your arrival its on the contract they neec to allocate them as soon as you paid 👍🏝

I found your video today because i have noticed the dreaded pine needles on one of my koi and being a relative novice was looking for an answer.I have had the fish for 3 years ,but when i look back i think there has been some tell tale signs.Like you i am saddened losing a fish ,i am not a fanatic,but enjoy a fish[koi]pond.Perhaps i should have gone to my local dealer for what would have seemed to be an insignificant question.You have made me realise how important or not an insignificant question could lead to.Sorry for your loss of a lovely fish and best wishes in the future.
Hi John mate, I’m so sorry to hear your having an issue with koi dropsy as well or poorly koi. It’s not a nice experience at all mate and I wish you all the best with it. Thanks for watching John and take care mate 🙏
Personally im not a fan of extensions, i love the challenge of changing a floorplan (fully understand not as cost effective for resale) but this caught my eye, intrigued.
Thanks for the comment mate we love our house extension pal. 💯 floor plan could be improved
Stunning! Stunning!
Thank you so so much for your kind comment on our house extension it’s appreciated 🙏

I'm going through the same thing buy with a twist. It's my older fish suffering fin rot and ulcers. I'm glad I watched this video I thought it was just me especially after seeing what perfection they are at koi dealers. My wife said keeping koi is an old man's thing. I get now why old people have ponds. You need to be retired to keep them. I work shifts and it's hard to keep on top off it. :-😢
Sorry to hear this mate and yeah 💯 can be super time demanding, I’m hoping my boys help me as time goes on
Hi does the couch drop ya ouyside the hotel. Got slight mobility issues
I don’t think the couch’s go that far at la palma princess hotel 😂😂😂 I joke mate, it’s funny how one typo can make all the difference. I think you mean coach and if so they drop you right outside mate, reception is on same level and I would 100 get help from the hotel getting to your room mate, as it isn’t easy. It’s a great hotel tbh and we may go back in future

Thanks pal we love our single story extension and thanks for the kind comments. I got them from Darren at www.thewindowcentreatherton.co.uk/ he is a top bloke, tell him I sent you ;-) Good luck with your renovation
Wouldn't it have been easier to move?!

Great video, from the recording of process to voice over to the final results, really great transformation 👍
Thank you so much Ahmed mate 🙏 super appreictae your kind comments on the house extension video and our house. Thanks pal
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks :-)
Hi Johnny thanks for an amazing video and congrats on the house! Quick question - did you paint your upvc windows on the original part of the house black or did you buy new windows?
Hi pal thanks we love our house extension so thank you. We sprayed them as a temp measure with vision of updating them in few years, but tBH they are doing fine
Great video. Can I ask, what room type did you have? Was it One bed family room? And i couldn't see any sun loungers at the aqua/slide park. Is there seating for adults? Cheers
Hi thanks we loved it at TUI blue aura, in all honesty I can not remember but if you ask them and reference the video it may help. Sorry and good luck 🤞
Wouldn't go with duck weed gets everywhere you should go for parrots feather will stay green all through winter and looks nice 👍
Parrot feathers 🪶 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 funny and your right I took the duck weed out the koi pond 🙏
Took my two grandsons last year to get their own fish,there were all the colours of the rainbow to pick from .the youngest picked the dullest off white koi in the tank .but is the most active koi in the pond and is the first to feed .
The youngest went of spirit then 🙏 love it mate 🙌
do a little bog filter and run it off skimmer
This is 💯 something I’m thinking of, I just don’t know how lol 😂
If you don’t want to pay for expensive floating pond baskets, I use the same basket you are using and I put black swimming pool noodles around edge if your basket with cable ties or use pipe insulation if plants not to heavy then secure to side so they don’t wander off around pond - I found the black pool noodles Amazon or ebay
Hi sue, I have every colour of noodle except black haha great point though
HaHa, good to watch Johnny, and could help the water..😊 🌱 👍🏼 although I think you would need ‘way’ more than you are putting in to help a pond of your size, to get the benefits you are hoping for. Not sure I would voluntarily add duck weed to my pond though. But I suppose big koi may keep it in check…. 🤞🏼👍🏼
Hi Andy mate, thanks for the comment I have removed the duck weed now after your comment and a few others pal, so thank you. Tbh I like them for their decorative value too mate so may grow into this. It’s quite hard to understand exactly what and how much is needed isn’t it
@@koifishjohnny Hi johnny, yeah it’s a tricky one mate, especially for your (our) style of pond, doesn’t lend itself for adding natural plants to it. Perhaps an idea would be to construct an additional area at the back, almost like a small raised feeder pond, that you could load up with plants and could then feed back in to the pond via the water blade I’m sure you had at the back of the pond.. Just a thought, but as always, costs to build it.. 💷💷💷 🤦🏼♂️🤬
@@AndysKoiPuddle cheers Andy I was thinking something similar tbh. Maybe change blade in future to big plant pot. But I also want something in the pond to stimulate the koi as they do like the water lettuces
@@koifishjohnny Yeah sounds good mate.👍🏼 I should really try putting something in myself, that will grab their attention for a while… 👍🏼 You going to make it along to Newark in a few weeks Johnny?
@@AndysKoiPuddle TBH mate I was looking at it yesterday after watching the North Koi Show, but its a 4hr trip in the car with the boys, and when the boys sleep in the day they dont sleep at night. So I may have to wait til one closer to me comes up, or the boys get older mate. I do want to though
How do you stop foxes from feasting lol
Assuming you mean lady foxes I don’t know mate, tell them I’m married 🦊
@@koifishjohnny lol no I mean real foxes.
I have no idea mate sorry
tidy job pal
Cheers Sharpey mate I love my little koi plants :-)
Great way of holiday your baskets pal deffo look at water cress mate
Cheers mate TBH Im thinking of getting these, I got rid of duck weed
Instead of the zip ties can you not drill a small hole into the side of the pond top..small screw into the hole..string or wire round the screw and into the basket. The problem with tying them down is what happens when you do a water change and the water level drops ? Duck weeds spreads like nothing else..need to keep it under control.
Good points there sue, I love it like anchored floating baskets 🧺 thank you and thanks for watching 👀
Thanks for an amazing review
No problem Rachael, hope you enjoy your visit to TUI Blue Aura if your planning on going
"fwee floating prants" - have you got someone else's teeth in?

Hi Johnny, Let's hope you have better luck with your mate when I did it my koi destroyed the plants over night so I gave up with putting plants in the pond mate. Steve
Sorry to hear that mate, and few others said the same. TBH mine seem to be ok for now but Karashigoi is curious
I did the exact same thing two months ago with the baskets, cable ties and everything 😂. I thought it would help the nitrate etc but the koi destroyed it within a matter of hours. My pond was a mess but the koi loved eating the water lettuce

Hi Jonny I could have given you one little bit of duck weed and it will cover your pond completely within weeks however sells this is a con artist
Cheers mate, I took it out now TBH
Duck weed is a nightmare to get rid of once in the pond can spread like mad. Get some watercress from your local supermarket… costs about a quid and great for getting rid of nitrates, also would recommend floating plant baskets they are made from material and foam and perfect for plants and koi safe. Nice to see a positive vid too 😁
duck weed wouldn’t spread like mad with koi
Duck weed has been removed, due to yours and others advice. I don't want a green lid on koi pond lol. Cheers for watching and supporting 🙏
@@koifishjohnny the koi would eat the duck weed it wouldn’t get a chance to take over 👍👍
I would advise against dug weed mate, it'll probably spread like mad, Try water cress.
100% agree with this comment
Duck weed has been removed, due to yours and others advice. I don't want a green lid on koi pond lol. Cheers for watching and supporting 🙏
Sorry for all the comments but i just feel the foam will help you and also keep the fish safe they will be trying to mouth those pots to eat the lettuce could hurt them selves on the lip
Good point mate, defo something to consider tBH they doing fine as is but will be thinking about this
That guy got good idea with the foam with hole cut in to sit the plants seems very safe and you could do what you did with the pots to the foam sheet
@@mystickoi2024 I like it cheers mate, 100% something to think about for sure, cheers pal
Your koi will trash your lillies if you dont put big gravel in there that they cant move
Cheers pal, I would like them but seems hard
Best way to put any pond plants you want is to plant them in pots the normal way then buy 2 inch thick black polystyrene cut holes for pot to sit in this will keep the plant afloat then secure them wherever you want many aquatic centres sell them already made I done them myself far cheaper
@@nickturton3246 very interesting mate I may have a look online for a video on this
@koifishjohnny I tried to put 2 in there last year they lasted a couple of weeks but I brought 2 that were already a fair size with nice roots starting young lillies off in a koi pond is just a recipe for disaster but it can be done you just have to have big gravel or I had some of those filter balls the heavy ones not the plastic ones and they did the job also gave some space for bacteria to grow too and help with the blanket weed
But as for water parameters I'd deffo recommend when I had lillies in my pond I never had a spike at all I kept them for a while and I think they would have lasted and regrown this year but I wanted to remove them while I sorted the pond upgrade out may get more later but not sure yet
I tried this last year safe to say it was great while it lasted the koi managed to get through it all
Them baskets may be your saving grace maybe get some foam like they use for pool floats and cut strips so and zip tie them to the lip of the lettuce pots pal then you can attach the zip ties to your wall
Cheers mate, My lettuce are surving so far although Karashgoi has taken a bit of a liking. Good ideas mate and thanks for watching.
@koifishjohnny I will always watch as long as you keep providing the goods! Hahaha it's all a learning curve everyday we learn new things in this hobby don't we mate been watching for ages now its been a pleasure watching you overcome everything and get fully back into koi keeping
Youre wasting your time mate. Fun to watch though 😅
Cheers Bobby mate, just got the 3 lettuces in now, thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it mate

Hi Johnny in the jungle, thank you so much for posting this as I have a slight leak on my Proclear 55 which I noticed on Tuesday night. I removed it twice yesterday which is not easy due to working in confined spaces with jubilee clips and is one of the jobs I really don’t like doing but thankfully I did put isolator valves either side when I put it in after was advised too which stops me draining the pond down and getting wet so this is really helpful. I checked the inlet and outlet pipes and put on some Ptfe tape, put it back on and still leaked so removed it again, checked the fittings, made sure all were tight and put back on and watched from underneath this time as I turned the water on and saw that it was coming from where the quartz tube is located and not from the connections I belt and braced with the tape so before taking it off for the third time as it was working and was not tripping any electrics I decided to look on CZcams this morning and yours was the only video I could find and I believe I have the same issue you experienced. I had also kept my old quartz tube I replaced a few years ago and had the two black seals so if one is damaged I can replace so round 3 - it was this seal around the quartz so was able to replace it and tighten it back up and this has sorted the leak, all thanks to your video post so thank you my friend.
Wow mate thank you so much for letting me know about this, super happy to have helped a little. Cheers mate and well done 👍
It is still holding but I did some research and learnt that the locking nuts on the TMC UV require replacing after 2 years as overtime with the heat causes the nut to swell causing the thread to become loose which is what I found. I used some ptfe tape and tightened as much as I could before it loosened as it did on two previous occasions and ordered 2 locking nuts so when they arrive I will replace. I will check out your other videos as you have a lovely looking pond. I just polished up our window last night and this morning the fish look superb.
