That's my Sunday fix complete and agree it is so satisfying when all good and equally frustrating when things go wrong, oooooh for the love of our water babies. Mine are greedy pigs too lol. The Koi look gorgeous in all the tanks & main pond Adam. Wondering if you can rescue those abandoned Koi, would make the late owner pleased. Stay well & safe.
Thanks Glad you liked the videos, it wont be the last time that abandoned pond makes an appearance im hoping they will get an estate agent to sell the house then i can contact them and ask them if i can clear the pond out but we will see what happens although the last thing i need is more fish 🙂
Hi Adam I've had such a great evening watching all your videos, just found them and it's so great to see the time and effort you put into their care. I've learnt such a lot too and been amazed at the builds you've done! Thank you - better than Netflix anyway!! 😀
Just curious, how much space does each Koi need? ... I used to have a Pond, that I now know was too small really, with goldfish and 2 Koi that I rescued from an aquatic shop. One was consistently bumping into the sides of the shop pen, and the other kept tipping over and floating upside down. I saw the shop scoop them out and put them in a dry bucket. They said it was the kindest thing for them. I begged to have them, so they were bagged for me, while I was told I can't eat them, and I'm stupid for wanting them - I paid £6 for them, because they didn't want me to take them for free, which annoyed me, but I did it because I just wanted to give them a chance. I isolated them in a temporary pool, and the rolling over one, I massaged it, while trying to find a vet. I Had no idea what I was doing, but thought it might be a swim bladder issue, and the 4 vets I called had no Fish experience, although one gave me some antibiotics. And after an hour's massaging them both, they seemed to improve, I fed them, treated them, and 14 days later they were like any normal Koi, except Oberon still occasionally went into things. 25 days later, I moved them into the main pond. The worst one, we called Puck was such a cool character. He could do tricks, both liked to run themselves over your fingers, and liked their snouts and heads rubbed. They'd even come to signals. Lol. Gosh we loved them. They came to us a couple inches long, and over the years they grew huge. Oberon was 32.8cm around his middle, a week before he died! ☺ We knew our Pond was really too small but they seemed to do well, and kept growing, so we began to discuss how to extend the Pond for Puck and Oberon. Sadly, someone knew we did rescue and rehab work, and the RSPCA had recently sent me into a dog fighting place to get out some animals, and somehow we were traced, we think by them. They broke into our garden, vandalised our garage, tipped Battery Acid, and another corrosive acid into our Pond, and a damaged Car Battery with all identifying marks removed, and killed the lot. The Police never caught the culprits, but our grainy CCTV footage showed 2 people doing it. We were so heart broken, we buried all our 12 fish (all had names, and we could identify them individually), with our beloved Puck and Oberon, in tears, stripped out the liners, and didn't restart the Pond. That was over 15 years ago....... But, lately, I've been thinking about restarting a Pond again, because I really do miss Puck & Oberon deeply. Who'd have thought these magnificent animals, could leave such a big hole in your Heart. ....... So, I'm just wondering..... how much space/Litres are needed to keep 2 or 3 Koi, all their life, from young (I can't afford full grown adults, and its good to watch them grow), and a few Goldfish? ☺ Thanks in advance. ☺
Hi Adam. I am a long time subscriber and I have always wondered why you don't use any plants or algae scrubbers, resembling an aquaponics system, to scrub nitrates out of the water? I mostly keep larger tropical fish but I always put some sort of bed in either a sump or suspended and put a few plants in there. It does wonders for balancing the water out chemically, removing nitrates, and you even get big plants. With koi this size you could no doubt grow entire fruiting plants like tomatoes or peppers, all whilst cleaning the water.
Thanks 🙂 I can't have the plants in the pond the fish would destroy them pretty fast but I don't have any issue with Nitrate its very minimal in all of my ponds mostly becasue of the filter media I use and I keep a good fresh water circulation. I do use a lot of the water to keep my plants and garden watered and it all does grow like crazy this time of year i can cut the grass daily and all the plants grow like mad its great but that's using the waste water from the pond it does not re circulate.
I got an 800 gallon pond filtered by a Momotaro bakki shower 4 tiers high with 80kg of Bacteria House media and a large canister full of K1. I keep mostly quality fancy goldfish long bodied varieties London Shub and Wakin etc I do have a few koi though unfortunately I will have to part with them when they out grow my 800 gallons I really must get a bigger garden!!!! Lovely fish btw
Your a natural so pretty much any topic is good on the ears ... the topic of the day for many koi keepers this year has been parasites and mainly battling flukes....lots of people are trialling Flukesolve Pluswhich is new on the market. Koi can live with a certain amount of parasites and control themselves to a certain extend (as every single pond will have some parasites) ... so many videos out there throwing in treatments left right and centre. On a another topic, many of youtube videoers seem to be either upgrading their pond or swithing to drum filters. That would be an interesting topic if you could go through options out there. As an owner of a large multibay i'm still occasionally battling with trich which i'm guessing drum filters eliminate. Be well mate, your doing a cracking job
i wanna chill in your garden with gin or wine watching your fish lol,my little pond is only a holding pond ive got 6 fancy goldfish in ,i.e blackmoors and orando,they been outside for 3 yrs and breed well,considering i was told not to do it and they wouldnt survive.
Hi Adam great vid again, what measuring tool did you get your water readings from. Wasn’t aware ammonia, nitrite and nitrate could be digitally achieved?
What an unruly bunch, I'd have thought you would have taught them some table manners before filming them eating! They look great Adam, what a great hobby when its all going well. 😀👍
Me wondering how you got that Buddha statue in the window 🤣 but damn so many beautiful fish Also what do you feed them and how often do you clean your filter/what filter 😩
Great video mate,I'm jealous when I watch your koi,I went away for a few days couple of weeks ago,to come home to all my koi and filter system stolen absolutely gutted
I'd be out for blood if someone touched my fish. That really sucks I heard of a lot of fish being stolen last year there was some strange goings on. hope it don't put you off the hobby.
@@AdamJulyan I honestly don't think I can afford a come back,I worked bloody hard to save my money to pay for the filter system and koi that were stolen
@@RicksAquariumsuk Sorry to hear that mate, some lowlifes out there. I'm sure Adam would rehome a couple of fish with you if he saw your setup. Have a private word. Even the ones from the neglected pond that he saved. Adam seems to be a proper gent and brilliant koi keeper. 👍
I've got a black ghost koi with silver head,but recently since we had the hot weather a pale colour started to come through the black on him, is that normal?
"Should be relaxing"
*Suddenly sounds of chaos*
When you’re in the wrong place in Skyrim
HA fantastic you’ll be creating a tidle wave into the living room with that lot, good to see the progress on the neglected pond mate
Love that moment when koi all nice & tranquil UNTIL the dinner 🛎, then they turn ravenous Lol

Aww Adam I can see some room for another school of fish 😹.. The more people support your channel the more fish you can rescued..
Very nice Some very big hungry fish Thank you for sharing.

Hi Adam, you have one serous Koi collection, bet you dont buy a TV licence :) thanks for sharing have good day
The bigger lemony yellow and white baby is really soooo lovely💕
Thank you for taking care of those fish. If it wasn't for you they would all be belly up.

Such a great setup, cool that you still check up on the other pond.
Good content to watch relaxing
Looking fantastic Adam glad you are still making visits to the neighbours pond it sure is looking much better stay safe 🙏🐟🐟🐟🐟🙏
What gorgeous fish. Thanks Adam!!
You can’t beat watching hungry fish feeding. Nice ochiba in the big tank 👍
I love how the second they see you they group up and huddle near you knowing you most likely got food
Brilliant video, nice to see an update on all fish 👍
Manz is doin some straight gods work out there
Im so glad I found your channel, you got a big heart for fish
Love all the koi!
It’s fun to watch them getting fed!
The koi in the big pond really like their food eh!

I won't lie, I was hoping to see him put his hand in and pet a few.
Another fantastic video Adam are you still feeding Coopens koi food and if so were do you order it from.
That's mental! Complete frenzy. 😎

Koi or piranha? Ha really enjoy your videos mate, thanks for sharing. Do you sell any of the fish on eBay?
Thanks glad you like video 🙂 Yeah I do sell them unfortunately I can't keep them all.
Nice setup of kois
Keep up the good work

Wow amazing...karashi good body
Cracking video Adam. Love it.
Lots of fishes!! 🤣🤣👍
Are these huge tanks inside your house? And what do you do with all these fish?
I so want a pond like this one day, like a outside giant meditation pond.
Dang and I thought I'd had a few ponds wish I had that much space 👍👍👍
Love the big ones lol
i wanna chill in your garden with gin or wine watching your fish lol,my little pond is only a holding pond ive got 6 fancy goldfish in ,i.e blackmoors and orando,they been outside for 3 yrs and breed well,considering i was told not to do it and they wouldnt survive.
The fish look like they haven't eaten in two weeks by how fast they rush the food
Hi Adam great vid again, what measuring tool did you get your water readings from. Wasn’t aware ammonia, nitrite and nitrate could be digitally achieved?
What an unruly bunch, I'd have thought you would have taught them some table manners before filming them eating! They look great Adam, what a great hobby when its all going well. 😀👍
They are an unruly bunch they never listen to anything I tell them sometimes I don't know why I even bother 🙂
@@AdamJulyan 🤣👍
Me wondering how you got that Buddha statue in the window 🤣
but damn so many beautiful fish
Also what do you feed them and how often do you clean your filter/what filter 😩
Amazing that. You’d think you never feed them 🤣👍🏻 greedy bugers 😀 lol
AWESOME 👌
Like little torpedos after that food 😄
Keep the vids coming How's the pond with the dirty filter?
Watch till end
..

Great video mate,I'm jealous when I watch your koi,I went away for a few days couple of weeks ago,to come home to all my koi and filter system stolen absolutely gutted
That's horrendous! Really sympathize with you. I'd be so angry if it happened to me. I hope the thieving bastards get their comeuppance.
I'd be out for blood if someone touched my fish. That really sucks I heard of a lot of fish being stolen last year there was some strange goings on. hope it don't put you off the hobby.

how do you reduce the nitrates in a pool like those?
I gotta know what happened with the mucky pond
4:48 name of aerator please
Do you sell your fish on Adam?
😁👍👍
Would love to have just 1 fish the size of them
Adam you have so many fish! are you willing to sell any?
Yeah I do sell them unfortunately I can't keep them all.
I've got a black ghost koi with silver head,but recently since we had the hot weather a pale colour started to come through the black on him, is that normal?
Id say yes the black colour on fish in more prominent in colder water so it will probably go back darker in the winter.
@@AdamJulyan nice one mate, always enjoy your vids I've learned a lot from them over the past year, keep it up 🙌
Come here fishiesss! 😊
phish
Over stocked ???
No pond is overstocked only under filtered 🙂
