    It might be a trick of the light, but the smaller one to the right appears to have an asymmetrical line between the head and the body, receding on the left side, so I am puzzled as to why Shawn uses it as an example of the perfect U-shape that koi should have.

    • @ThePondDigger
      @ThePondDigger  Před 5 lety

      Interesting observation. Could be a visual anomaly from the camera angle. Shawn is very sensitive about making sure the koi look good on camera

    • @tzenophile
      @tzenophile Před 5 lety

      @@ThePondDigger Exactly, which is why it is strange. I assume the camera was pretty close (5-6' ?), although the lines of the container and measuring sticks do look straight. And if you look at 1:12 you can see what appears to be a clear difference between the two koi. But it could also be the change in color from red to orange-red rather than the "U"-line itself. However, when you draw lines between the eyeballs and between the two [mustache taps] (insert Japanese word here) the lines would indicate that the head is slanted towards the right of the fish. But I agree that could be a fisheye effect, if you pardon the pun.

    I've grown my fish 18 plus inch in a year. I think I would feed them like 10 times a day.

    what's all that got to do with HOW TO GROW Massive KOI?

    • @ThePondDigger
      @ThePondDigger  Před 5 lety

      The secret is in the details of how this fish won a grow out contest even though it was in a small pond during the grow out contest. It is explained in the video with temperature and water changes

  • @erick6102
    @erick6102 Před 5 lety

    Simple, get a massive pond to grow massive Kohaku.....

    • @ThePondDigger
      @ThePondDigger  Před 5 lety

      Sounds like a perfect plan but if you really listen to the feedback in the video you will learn that is not the only way to get it done!
