    Shawn, Eric, your videos are so educational and light, it is like i am with you in person discussing things about Koi. Great videos, maybe the only thing better are the koi's. And this rare one is absolutely amazing... ridiculously amazing...! Mystic Koi got a gem.

    Naming your fish is 1 of the best things in owning fish .2 of mine are Agatha and Bertram after my favorite aunt and uncle .They were the funniest couple and these 2 fish perfectly matched them .Aunt Ag and Uncle Bert passed away years ago but they live on in these 2 fish and every time I say there names it brings back beloved memories

    My Kumonryu unfortunately died a few years back. She was a Jumbo Koi and about 70cm. Very tame, very relaxed, she was called YinYang and when I entered my garden, she would be the first to swim towards me, even before my Chagoi's. Her appearance was more Orca-like, with lots of black and beautiful large rounded patches of white. I still miss her in my pond, she was definitely my favourite koi. Only a few months ago, I had someone hunt one down again in Japan for me. This time a Beni Kumonryu, I can only hope he/she will be as cool as YinYang.

    i got my koi and im happy with them i got snow flakes koi they are doing very well, but my concern is my pond doesnt have filter and oxygen, literally its just a normal pond but they seems healthy and happy i guess. i used to clean it ones a month because i dont want them to get stress.. do you think there is something that i should know that health treat to my koi? the first 8 koi i had for the first time from months old they didnt survive but this new 5 carp they seems doing great and active...
