you are actually right, you can only pick winners for your own pond in koi dealers.. if you want the premium fish to win the prices you MUST go pick them in japan, they ARNT sold by the numbers to dealers across the world.. because, breeders dont sell top quality by numbers, if they have a koi in their stock that has potential it is not even sold, they put them in the mudponds and grow them year by year untill they reach a point where the quality isnt really improving or the chance of fail will get bigger, then they sell it at the highest prices posible.. so. dont expect to find a champion a place like "this" But, you should just pick the colors you like and expect them to be nice for a while.. usually they dont improve to much as they get larger, they normaly get worse.. BECAUSE the koi breeder has sold them at the time he expect them to look their best or they dont have any potential left.
normaly, you can just expect one color koi to keep its color.. by picking Kin Kikokuryu that looks great as young koi, you are taking a risk… they dont keep up to well, Ive had several and just one is "ok" by now..
sekond, there is a reason why koi shows has prices for baby champion and diffrent sizes and catagories.. to find a baby champion myou might have to spend about 800-1000 USD for just one koi and you still arnt sure to win. ( a friend used that amount just before a koi show, picking from japan, and it still didnt win ! )
about sizes.. pretty much depends on genes, sex and variant.. female grow faster.. chagoi ( and others ) get big and friendly.. but you still need the right genes to get a big jumbo 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.
Put the little ones in the pond because mosquito larvae are great. Add some scuds to the pond and let it algae up a little. Don't add gambusia or other mosquito larvae eaters until the koi are big enough to eat them, then add the livebearers for continual and sustainable live food.
I didn't look at how old this video is. But if you want big koi grow them in green water. I believe this tip/trick whatever you want to call it don't get the respect it deserves.
ok… So when are we going to see how big those fish got?
So…what happened, you won?
My name is kory with a k tho and I love koi so they call me kory koi 😂lol😂
That shiny orange is somthing special

Was the winner picked?
I feel sorry for the koi in there that have no pretty color and look like a regular bass.I bet there the least desired since they lack color
You got this!
Hello Cory, what are the results of the challenge? Would love to see the video.
fish steroids
koi good way to dispose of body.
🐟🐟🐟🐟
Aww, I wish Cory picked the chagoi, but at least he found some fish he really likes.
No way are those tiny koi one year old man come on

My personal favorites are chagoi, doitsu sanke, and the little cow ones (can't remember what they are called). What are your favorites?
Crazy ass grill Cory!
You can win this
Unless it's rare. Patterns and beauty is all subjective. Who the hell gets to determine quality.
I Love touching those fish 😚😍
Harmless fish.
Best fish koi
Just got around to watching this video, cant wait to see the results of the friendly competition you got going,
how old are those kois?

Hang an insect zapper light above the pond so every night, your fishies get "autofed" with high protein. That should grow them out faster.
😍 How much are the small ones about?
ye that dude is specialist how he cant see that amazing black yellow pattern like a bumble bee or something , i would buy that one for sure
who won? do you export?
Good tips
Winner gets the loser's koi? Cory gets the chagoi, Zachary gets to pick one of the three?
how much would those 6 fish cost total to buy?
I really want to make my own koi pond but I don't think I can cause I have in nh
bagus juga
I got one of those kawarigoi aswell, but in my country it's called a "ghost koi" I really love it 🙂

One thing. Get butterfly tails
Awesome video Cory!! it was awesome to see the different types of koi
I'm going to pick you to win, just because I want to XDD
I have faith in you!
The one fish you picked up has a black heart shaped marking. It will be interesting to see if it stays that shape.
How many can I keep in a 500 gallon tank?
👍🏻🤠
the koi that look like cows are cool
I love the solid Orange one
Love the video! You should do a video on your pond
