I spent the day with Zak, owner of Koi.com. I asked him for some tips on picking young koi fish. Koi.com specializes in Japanese koi and I came home with some for myself, no surprise there!

My aunt owns koi and I can definitely confirm Chagois are the best koi. Not the flashiest, but definitely the friendliest/most interactive. I adooree them
Oh my gosh. Koi and goldfish videos are my absolute favorite this time of year.
You should show us the gopro footage as it fell into the pond!
That little doitsu has a perfect heart near it's gill!
Great vid, great conversation and great editing! Thanks!
All The best, Cory, love your updates, cane to know a ton about fish keeping through them!!! Great Job!!!
Awesome video Cory!! it was awesome to see the different types of koi
Wow! Those koi are so awesome! Again thanks for an awesome video Cory!🤗
So far this is my favorite video, awesome, keep the good work
why is he not picking up the solid black and orange one,to me it's the coolest one in the pond!!! the big patchy one.

solid black and orange is Hi utsuri. While a good fish, it wasn't one of the best in the batch.

Wicked video Cory!
Excellent discussion with a true koi expert, Zak of Koi.com.
great video. zak really knows his koi!
Ill be rootin for ya Cory!!! Good luck on those beauties. This should be very interesting. Looking forward to the progress videos.
Ooh, no dislikes, that never happens! Awesome content as always Cory
Those were some amazing koi!! By auto-feeder, I'm picturing Jimmy chained to the pond 24 hours a day dropping in worms and peas and shrimp... Of course, everyone knows if you really want to put size on something, you feed it brisket.
That orange one with the black eyes definitely the coolest koi I've seen
I love this video. Very good job
man you should totally buy that solid orange and black patchy one.
4 Koi grown as large as possible in one summer, and we get to see the results? Cant really see it as a win/lose scenario - sounds like a win win win win...
I don't have any aquariums or anything but I just really enjoy these videos. They are really helpful and entertaining

Thank you for this. Very informative. Once again hit it out of the park. This just made me want Koi all the more. Need the constructing the pond video.
Love the video! You should do a video on your pond
great video Cory
Cory if you want to win you should come back there in like 2 months and switch out his koi for a smaller one

Beautiful koi.😍
I love the Matsuba koi, the golden one.
I just love koi with shiny scales love them it doesn't matter what colour it is
I am in love with the Ted metallic one with the white face and fins.
You got this!
I picked that matsuba right when you said you were gonna pick some. :D
he picked out some great fish but I really enjoy the ones with a lot of black and yellow against white.
I know most don’t like chagoi... but I love them so very much. Tea coloured ones are such gentle cuties

Aquarium Co-Op Aquarium Co-Op I am too, but when I have the flu, I'm just too tired and sore to be grumpy. Even though I am feeling considerably better than Sunday(which was the worst I have ever felt), I am still trying to get over a terrible cough and stuffed up nose. But watching Koi/Goldfish videos make me feel better. Watching anything with animals, furry or scaly, makes me feel better in general. The Kohaku and Kujaku are my favorite. If I had a pond, would definitely have those.
Love the video. Did not like him swiping the koi so often. It was hard to choose myself
Good video
I love the solid Orange one
I believe you are going to win . good luck cory
Great video again Cory! Awesome video again! I love Koi, if I had space and money I'd get a big pond! haha. *Keep up the good work and thumbs up!* *#FishFam** **#TacoUnion*
Cory (or anyone else)- do you have a video about Ph anywhere on your channel? I know fighting the Ph is a bit of a losing battle without RO, but i'd love to hear your take. Pretty much all of my community fish prefer and breed in lower Ph compared to my local tap water. On a similar vein, are Cattapa leaves all they are made out to be? I've been told they help to lower the PH, but i worry about fluctuation as they decompose. Thanks!! You have been a great inspiration to do more research on to how to better my fish keeping skills.
Great video! Who won the koi grow out contest?
I have a scaless koi I believe it’s called a Doitsu funny thing is I got it when it was about 3 to 5 inches and I didn’t know it was scaless koi until recently ( the koi is now 3 yo )
Cory you made a sucker bet with Zak! The chagoi with outpace the growth of both your doitsu combined!

That shiny orange is somthing special
Wicked and great!!!!!!!!!!
I am Japanese. It was a very nice video.
I love that mostly black with slight spots of red and white koi, not sure what it's called.. but soooo pretty!
I want to have all of them, these fish are all beautiful
you got this cory!!!
The one fish you picked up has a black heart shaped marking. It will be interesting to see if it stays that shape.
koi is such beautiful fishes! I love the ones with long fins... butterfly? I don't actually know what they are called.
Hang an insect zapper light above the pond so every night, your fishies get "autofed" with high protein. That should grow them out faster.
you go Cory, if anyone can do it, it's you.
hey Cory I think you should make your 800gal like the amano largest fresh water aquarium in the world which has a massive amount of all different tetra
some of my koi I breed of my own look like them. I breed gosanke koi, shiro bekko, aka bekko, kin bekko, havnt breed any chagoi yet....

My personal favorites are chagoi, doitsu sanke, and the little cow ones (can't remember what they are called). What are your favorites?
Aww, I wish Cory picked the chagoi, but at least he found some fish he really likes.

Is there such a thing as obese fish? The thought occurred to me while you were talking about how much you can push feeding them to grow them fast.

Yes, you have to worry about body conformation in the competitions. Also guppies you can feed them so much their chests explode.
you will win!
How do you keep track of the kois and pull them out without hurting any with a pond that deep please? I'm a rookie starting out lol
bagus juga
Kujaku are my fave
Did you go back and compare the fish?
At about 8-9 min in the fish were showing signs of oxygen deprivation, Im glad he put them back.
We lost our favorite fish this morning... a beautiful comet goldfish. He was super sweet, but I just need to go watch fish vids and do some other stuff to cheer myself up :)

As long as you have a large aquarium like a 120 gallon or bigger then its fine
Cory do you have any killi fish in stock?
What is the ogon called that he picks up at about 13min in the video?
Hey anyone know the name of the koi at 6:31 that is orange black and white but has super shiny scales on top? its at almost center of the frame just off to the right a smidge.
Got to go with Koi.com FTW...I'm sure he's got a few tricks you might overlook
How many can I keep in a 500 gallon tank?
How much would those 7 cost with the pond and everything
Chagoi grow way to fast. U should have tried to get an asagi they grow fast also. Kool video!
I bought a young koi from a local grocery store (NOT WALMART) and I have him in a ten gallon tank, is he gonna outgrow it? Because of so I'm not sure what to do because I won't have any other options.
Can koi and goldfish hybrid when there about 5 inch
Good use for the 800gallon 😃

who won? do you export?
Cory, please show the results of the competition.
here's a tip if your not doing this for business but just for your own pond and personal enjoyment just look for fish that you like and not the best expensive koi
Ugh, took me a long time to figure out what he was saying. Ki Mizuho Ogon. A long time ago we had something quite similar in our pond and I've never seen anything like it locally thereafter. Either that or it was Doitsu Ki Matsuba... I have no idea how to tell the difference.
ok... So when are we going to see how big those fish got?
Why didn't he pick the one at 3:00 with the spade on its head? : (
Best fish koi
