New web site, and shop!
Weekly Koi Diary posted Saturdays by 9am. This is my Koi keeping hobby in its raw form, no hiding from issues, no brushing over the bad times it is my complete hobby on film, good bad and ugly!
Hopefully more good than bad, but its Koi keeping you get it all, as we all know!
Also, as and when HOW TO videos, on things I feel may be of help to other hobbyists or worthwhile to be shared!
And then videos of any other stuff I get up to within the Koi hobby.
Welcome, enjoy and dont forget to subscribe! :-)

Koi Diary 164 - Koi food grumble and winterising the pond :-(
Переглядів 5 тис.Рік тому
So I'm not on wheatgerm and just look at the amount of koi poo on the base of the pond! Also I winterise the pond in readiness for the incoming bad and cold weather
All Koi measure up - 2022 have they grown?
Переглядів 3,8 тис.Рік тому
In this video I bowl all the koi and see how they have grown over the year! And boy have some of them grown!!! Im more than happy with how they have done, I think finally pushing the food with regular feeds via the auto feeder and keeping a steady 23c for summer has really made the difference this year! Anyway enjoy seeing the fish close up, and let me know what you think! Andy

Koi Diary 161 - 2nd Fluke treatment and Drum filter carnage!
Переглядів 7 тис.2 роки тому
2nd Fluke treatment in! Easy! Reinstate drum bungs so drum can clean up the pond water, errrr, NOT easy! What and absolute fudge this turned out to be LOL Yeah so the pond water as you know is a real mess as I was bypassing the drum to allow the fluke treatment not to be stripped out of the water, well in the 5 days its been off the water has got rather a large amount of algae suspending in it ...

Koi Diary 150 - Fish Health ramblings and pipe supports
Just started watching have you stopped filming on you tube now ? As there has been nothing on here for 11 months.
@kerrielove7608 Had a break, new videos due soon 😁
@koidiaries great to hear, also can't wait to see how the garden is getting on 🙂
Hi Great informative video. Just to be clear the arrow is not necessarily the direction of flow because if it is then on my new 4” valves the adjustment would be on the inlet to the valve from the pond? Thanks for a reply.
Brilliant video mate, been hearing loads of great things about Andy so good to put a face to the name 🙏
10 Months !!! 😢😪
Hi Andy thank you for the video super helpful, i'm just about to move 7 large koi to france from essex next weekend, we have oxygen and bags and polystyrene boxes for transport, but just really nervous about ensuring that we put enough oxygen in for the 7 -8 hour journey via car and ferry. Treating with stress coat this week Are there any other tips you would recommend? What sort of emergency kit should I have? I have spare oxygen cannisters, please do share any other helpful tips, thank you so much xo
Nice too see you back can you upload some vids miss chilling with the misus on a sat morning watching them hope your well 😊
How is it going mate ? 🙏 Have not heard anything from you in a while 😊
What do you put them to sleep with? Also is it vetericyn plus reptile wound care spray that you use on your koi?
Beautiful koi’s! Thanks for sharing your video!
They can get 1.2 m long
Glad to see you back mate
We NEED you back Mate.x
What have you been feeding those beautiful babies
Welcome back Andy hope you're as well as those fish are looking 👍
There he is now , the man that got me really into koi or should I say the man who has cost me thousands 😅 Great to see you back 👍
Haha So you saying you want a chq in the post? YOu'll be waiting quite a while, a long long while lol :-)
Good to see you back, you've been throwing that food in, fish are massive. How's the DOC pipes going - are they producing much?
Hey, yeah theyve had a bit :-) DOC are working a treat!! More foam in summer when foods flying in
Hes back boooooooom hows the pond andrew
Yeah its ticking over nicely! Update coming soon
Good to see you Mr D! Fish look good. Very appropriate song choice 😊
Ha cheers, yeah thought I'd find an appropriate song to fit :-)
Hello you ,I've wondered where you've been 😂 ,good to see you 👍
Haha thught I'd jut tease that I'm still alive :-)
UA-cam hasn't seen this pond in such a long time.come on bud put a update out there💪👍
Yeah, soon, i'm on it!!
Hello, what are you doing....have you got any food ? Have to love koi !
The man the myth the legend 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Haha not quite but thanks 😄
Hi Andy any news of when you will be back to do some more videos 😢
Come on Andy need some updates even if it’s just a brief one! Genuinely the only channel I miss! Saturday mornings just aren’t the same :(
Were r you lad its been a wile hope all is well
So youve changed ur pond totally
Can koi survive 7-8 hours long drive with this method?
...and he's gone again.
Those feeshies are going hard.
How do you know if you need to remove a scale or scales?
Try mixing with a little vodka into a creamy paste prior to mixing with water, it mixes much better
Very helpful. Thank you. I enjoy your episodes
When you sedate , how long can the fish be out of water while you are treating him?
Longer than you think! I've had fish out for like 6-7 minutes with no issues. Just keep fish wet. It will also take longer to come round.
What cleaning solution will you use to clean out the scale area?
Quick Questions 1. what type of koi is Chubbs? 2. how many gallons is your pond?
Chubbs is a Chagoi. The pond then was just over 3k gallons. I say then as its had a re build and is now a tad less
Use an aquarium glass cleaning magnetic cleaner for your windows, you won’t need to move your covers, nice to see your back Andy.
1025 pellets, get that count correct mind. 😂👍
Ive spent 2 weeks looking for ur channel was worried u deleted nice to see u back hope ur well
Hi m8 is that cap full based on a 250ml bottle
Glad to have you back Andy, not been the same without the weekly moan 😂
Welcome back about time 😉 I'll have to get my showa out and get some photos over to you 👍
I somehow feel like my ex lover who went for a packet of fags and never came back, is back! 🤣

Hay, hi Andy, nice to see you again, stunning fish, hope your well. Enjoy the two wheels 😎
Nice to see u back 😊
