What It Takes to Run a Koi Farm This Time of Year | T.N.J. | EP

Описание: In this latest episode of The Nishikigoi Journal, Ricky Stoddart takes you inside a whirlwind week at the koi farm. With two big shipments landing, a full pond reshuffle underway, and brand-new showers installed in the main greenhouse, it’s all systems go as the growing season ramps up.

The main focus? Prepping for the much-anticipated Tosai Festival on Saturday, May 3rd — a one-day-only physical event at Koi Retail Services unit in Retford. The video includes a full preview of the event stock, featuring standout Tosai from Taniguchi, Koda, and Ikarashi Ozumi, along with Golden Corns, Ginrin Komonryu, Kin Showa, and more. From Karashigoi powerhouses to quirky, affordable picks, there’s something for everyone.

Back at the farm, Ricky moves high-end Nisai and Sansai around between key ponds to set up for maximum growth potential over summer. He shares his thought process on selecting what stays, what moves, and what’s being offered at major discounts through pondside sales – including some jaw-dropping fish with minor faults that still pack serious quality.

You’ll also see the chaos of late-night treatments, ongoing drum filter dramas, and the ultimate struggle of trying to settle down when there’s always one more job to do.
