    I had the opportunity to visit Dr. Walker's house 20+ years ago and check out his pond and fishes. He is a very nice man and knows how to build ponds correctly. I'm glad he is still in business and doing well. His video on what is it like to buy koi in Japan made me feel like I was right there on the trip.

    I love this man he explains what he’s selling, but he has passion for what he does. I seen him on a CZcams video I believe with his son and was impressed by his knowledge respect for the Japanese people and all the incredible accomplishments Japanese people have done for the koi in general. I live in Michigan I am a senior been married 54 years and three years ago. We had a pond and establish farm pond with no fish as winter kill have taken everything out 10 years ago so after watching this gentleman’s beautiful video and his Japanese fish.We bought garden-variety koi we are nothing special to us us we love the yellow and I had splashing of orange and black and white . they are mutts my golden retriever has a huge Pedegree, which I ignore and just love them as my best bud . thank you sir, for bringing koi in to my life. they have tripled their size into years some reaching 14 inches considering this is a Michigan in that beautiful weather like California. We have been very lucky our border collie loves to be outside, and when a herring comes in, she comes and tells us so we can shoot it away. if I was a rich person with money ha ha I would definitely buy some of your koi. what I love them anymore I doubt it.. sincerely yours one of your fans from Michigan Margie

    They had the Absolute Best Videos of Sacramento Koi going to Japan buying the koi from breeders for their store to sell. Sometimes a customer would go with them to pick some out for themselves. Sometimes Steve here would pick some out per customers wish lists. They were the most fun honest koi videos to watch. But I haven't seen them put one up in a while and I miss them. Just a really nice honest guy who went to Japan & bought Koi for his store!

    Japanese koi have always looked, to me, like they’ve been carefully painted. Like an artist has made it their life’s mission to study and paint the fish. I keep saying ’one day,’ to owning my own koi pond, but I don’t think I’ll ever be in the position to make it reality. So…I live vicariously through these CZcams videos of other peoples beautiful koi pools! ❤

      @Hannari-xt6nr Před 2 měsíci +1

      My grandmother's house in Japan has its own koi pond. Well actually it is just a pond in the garden with 20 koi in it. If you want to take care of the house, live in it and pay the taxes, (rent free), it is yours, if not we will have to demolish the house in a few years and we will have to give the koi away to people who want them. The oldest one in the pond is 70 years old.
      The house is in Nara and now with the value of property in Japan, it has become too expensive for us to keep this house for no reason since we live in Tokyo and the house is just another Akiya which cost us money in taxes and maintenance but does not generate any income. We don't want to destroy it and sell the lot, because the house is 120 years old and a masterpiece of old architecture and the garden is 250 years old and another masterpiece of traditional design with its pond and rocs and stone lanterns everywhere, but this costs the equivalent of 4000 dollars in tax every year and 3000 dollars to the gardeners to maintain the garden and the koi. That's is unfortunately too much to do for decades to come. So i am serious, if you want to live in it it is yours for 4000 a year or 3000 if you agree to take care of the garden and the koi.

      @@twinkleandsparkle9658 Than you for the answer. I give myself another few years to find someone, but after that i will try to salvage as much as i can. What i will make sure of is that the trees and koi and the lantern as well as all the wood work in the house is not destroyed,just displaced. sadly the pond will be destroyed and the house as well. This is really what globalism does to the past, and we have to choose between our jobs or our houses.
      But i really appreciate your answer. I will not let the pond suffer, that is the one thing that is certain.

    He could be right about most US breeders only keeping 60% of their koi and the Japanese 3%, I don't know, so I can't argue. However, some US breeders are far more selective than just 3%. Hanover Koi Farms in Pennsylvania, for example, I know for a fact will spawn 4,000,000 fry every year and they cull 90% of that spawn three times. So, out of about 90 spawns they end up with about 4,000,000 fry. After the first 90% cull, they end up with 400,000 fry that they keep for about two months. After the second cull, they only keep 40,000 of that 400,000 and after the third cull, they only keep 4,000 fish, which is what they end up selling to the public. That's a 90%/90%/90% cull rate out of 4 million fish down to just 4 thousand. Do the math: 4,000/4,000,000 = .001 x 100 = a .1% keep rate. Not 60%, not 3%, Hanover Koi Farms only keeps .1%. Not all breeders are the same despite what they say the average breeder is doing.
