Fantastic Koi Talk. Two amazing guys. The thing I retained here is that a lot of things within the industry or at the source like the BKKS need to be updated and modernised, but even with modernising, nothing is better than the good old days. Fascinating snippets of history there. Thank you both!
I think it’s about doing the industry & the hobby justice. From the majority of comments we get, there’s a lot more to do. Hopefully we can all pull in the same direction
GREAT VID I NEW WADDY LOVELY TO SEE HE IS NOT FORGOTEN IN THE KOI WORLD RESPECT TO YOU 2 I SHALL WATCH YOUR VIDS FROM NOW ,,HAPPY KOI OWNER FOR 50 YEARS
Fantastic edition as always , Tim is superb just like Peter was genuine koi people!! You always will have the gang who will want to do nothing more with shows than what is done now because it suits them just fine .
"There's enough room for every filter in this hobby" now thats what you want to here from a dealer not running another filter down 👍🏻 fantastic video again
@@KoiTalkMagazine as a hobbyist but an outsider to the ins and outs of shows I love.going but always felt there could be more some of the ideas suggestions to make it more engaging were great all positive not just it's crap it should be better but let's look to improve what's already there Tim and you are reaching a big audience with the you tube stuff alot of them will have never been to a show they need to utilise that to get more people in in my humble opinion 👍
Brilliant talk, I started keeping koi in 2009 and never knew connection until recently when seen comments on forum, great books and dvds by Peter however glad I stuck with my Nexus even though he told me he’s removed them often after seeing his CZcams video about EA realised there was an issues between him and EA. Ricky and Tim doing great job for us younger generation.
This is my absolute favourite episode so far, great to hear yer personal opinions on the great variety of topics that ye spoke about. Can't wait for the next episode
This channel and Tim's are the only 2 koi CZcams channels worth watching, proper Profesionals talking about stuff they know about, you put the rest to shame . keep them coming guys.
@@KoiTalkMagazine yes please keep going the word of the pros needs to drown out all the rubbish on you tube giving people bad advice and claiming it works for them whatever that's meant to mean.
Absolutely amazing episode guy's 💯 was great hearing Tim talking about his dad, having had the opportunity to work with Peter on his Eric filters he truly was the god father of koi 💯🧁's 👍👍👍
I really enjoyed that. I've followed Tim for a while now I noticed he had the same surname as Pete but never realised he was his son😁. Tim and Ricky are really making a massive impact in the koi world its really good to see. Especially when everyone is getting together on these collaboration videos. Keep doing what your doing its going a long way chaps👍🏻😉
Very enoyable well done, i first went to infiltration in 1979, it inspired me to go to japan in 1981. I have lived in Perth wa now for 30yrs, still keep koi, just finished a 50,000ltr pond at home and run both a nexus and a drum. Keep up the good work guys.
Was waiting for this koi talk and boy it didn’t disappoint, two of the best trading war stories! This was a proper koi talk! Hardly any camera eye contact The BKKS should bring the dealer show back, that would inject it with the impetus it needs Every dealer bringing their weapons out 😎😎
@@KoiTalkMagazine And if anyone can have that conversation it is people like Ricky and Tim..both have taken koi keeping to the next levels and every koi keeper thanks you for sharing the knowledge and stories 👍👍👍
Fascinating to listen to 2 people with such a wealth of knowledge on buying in Japan and the history of the koi industry. Great video, thanks for sharing. Stay safe and well 👍🏻

Interesting and frank conversation, too many points I'd want to comment on so will stick with just one major issue with the UK hobby/industry/clubs as a whole and that's the reliance on Facebook as a marketing medium. Does nobody realise that FB doesn't fit with the main hobbyist demographic. The vast majority of hobbyists I know do not use FB. It frustrates the hell out of me when a dealer website sends you to FB for the latest info/koi/products etc and without doubt this loses business and custom. I'm certain this impacts a large minority.
I bet it was hard for tim to come out of his dads shadow do huge huge shoes to fill, hes earnt his own audiance his you tube is top draw and its always good to listen to everybodys input
Ok, another comment... Shows should have classes for home bred koi. It's the only way I would put a koi into a show and it would create competition on a whole new level and open up the scene to a majority who will not or cannot afford to invest large sums of money to buy a show-worthy koi that ultimately someone else bred and partially/fully raised.
@@tonybarker428 Maybe the odd one will slip through the net but our community is relatively small, and dare I say it, reasonably honest, it can work. Another possibility is "breeders pairs" or even "breeders quads" - groups of up to 4 of your best koi from a spawning and scored/judged as one for an overall points score. The possibilities are quite exciting imo.
Waddy did not come to see how the Japanese hobbyists were doing in the summer, as did Waddy. I'm sure you two will change many minds. If you get the chance, I'll show you around! 三(卍 ˘ω˘))卍

Hardly any camera eye contact
The BKKS should bring the dealer show back, that would inject it with the impetus it needs
Every dealer bringing their weapons out 😎😎
Glad you enjoyed it. I think it’s certainly a conversation to be had. Watch this space I guess
@@KoiTalkMagazine
And if anyone can have that conversation it is people like Ricky and Tim..both have taken koi keeping to the next levels and every koi keeper thanks you for sharing the knowledge and stories 👍👍👍
Best episode so far, hats off to you Ricky!

Pretty fantastic is an understatement the man is a koi guru the messi of koi the chocolate to a digestive
Love that analogy 😂
Great talk guys 👍
Thanks James 🙏
very good; you need to invite a BKKS judge for a podcast - that would be interesting.
It's something we've been discussing too...
Interesting and frank conversation, too many points I'd want to comment on so will stick with just one major issue with the UK hobby/industry/clubs as a whole and that's the reliance on Facebook as a marketing medium.

It frustrates the hell out of me when a dealer website sends you to FB for the latest info/koi/products etc and without doubt this loses business and custom. I'm certain this impacts a large minority.
It’s a powerful tool for some but I get what you mean. It’s not as impactful with certain demographics
I bet it was hard for tim to come out of his dads shadow do huge huge shoes to fill, hes earnt his own audiance his you tube is top draw and its always good to listen to everybodys input
Fantastic video! What advice would you give for someone wanting to be a koi dealer?
Don’t quit the day job 😂. No seriously if you’re interested, get in touch & we’d be happy to go through life as a koi dealer 👍
Enjoyed this. Follow both channels be good if you can get together again for a part 2. 👍🏻
We will get it in the pipeline
Can't wait for my 1st Edition 👌
I’m sure you will love it 😎

That’s a really interesting idea & I totally see where you’re coming from. A topic to discuss for sure 👍
That would be really difficult to police
