Thursday evening from 8pm most arrived in Rotterdam, on the way we picked up two more Koigekken and drove to the Farm with several stops in between. As planned, we arrive around breakfast time and then immediately fall head over heels. We will capture one of the brand new silo-like ponds placed. Robbert and later Klaas are allowed into the water and all the Koi, it turns out there are over 400, have to be sexted.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Yoshikigoi Koi Farm: Unveiling the Secrets of Koi Breeding Excellence in Poland\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FHVBX1Uy9K0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>One by one, all Koi are caught, inspected, sexed and sorted. Soon a little train is formed towards the truck on which there are two containers of water. On the left come the females, on the right come the males and NO that has any other political reason. Jos sexts and sorts the Koi and my fellow travellers watch, follow his explanations and help catch and move the Koi. Using the Kois socks, the fish enter the tanks. On top are Marcel and Maurice. They count and make sure the Koi go into the right tanks.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"WhatsApp Image 2019-04-27 at 07.40.22\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/koiquest10\/47658922082\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/47658922082_c63c5f0510_z.jpg\" alt=\"WhatsApp Image 2019-04-27 at 07.40.22\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After this, they go into the mudpond waiting for even better times\/further development and still later probably a new owner. By the way, I would like to emphasise once again that <abbr class='c2c-text-hover' title='Koi afkomstig van de Yoshiki Koi Farm in Polen'>Yoshikigoi<\/abbr> Farm is the only farm in the world that can prove through certificates and veterinary certificates that it is completely <abbr class='c2c-text-hover' title='Koi Herpes Virus'>KHV<\/abbr> and <abbr class='c2c-text-hover' title='Spring Viraemia of Carp'>SVC<\/abbr> free.
