I Had 1 Hour to Choose 40 Koi… Here’s What Happened | T.N.J. | EP

Описание: The final day of Ricky Stoddart’s latest Japan trip wraps up with a bang — and it’s all about the legendary NND Mud Pond Event.

After a whirlwind week across some of Japan’s finest koi farms, Ricky returns to NND for one of the most exciting parts of the journey: selecting the Tosai that will be grown on in mud ponds for the 2024 event. With just one shot to make the right picks, pressure is high and quality is everywhere. This year’s batch? Absolutely stunning.

Following the tradition of past events, Ricky carefully balances size, quality, and consistency while navigating some chaotic netting scenes, last-minute decisions, and surprise standout koi. With Oomo-san by his side, every choice counts. The goal? Deliver an exceptional growing experience to hobbyists back in the UK — with top-tier Gosanke from one of the most trusted breeders in the game.

For 2025, the NND Mud Pond Event gets even more exciting. A brand new judging competition will be introduced, and each participant will receive an exclusive NND event t-shirt — a first for the event and one that’s bound to be a hit.

From insights into the koi selected, to Ricky’s personal thoughts on consistency, price accessibility, and what makes this event so special, this episode gives a real behind-the-scenes look at what goes into building one of the UK’s most sought-after koi grow-outs.

Stick around until the end as Ricky checks in on his own personal parent fish project, shares a couple of jaw-dropping customer koi, and hints at what’s coming next — including the big May trip when the fish will be released into the mud ponds and (hopefully) breeding history will be made.
