Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.50,0:00:07.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're at one of our ponds and this is one \Nof our best ponds. It has quite a few
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.92,0:00:12.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,plants growing and emerging out of it. But\Nit's large enough that many of the animals
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.29,0:00:16.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,use it as a water source. So, our deer\Ndrink here, we occasionally find snakes
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.29,0:00:20.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,along the banks, our red-winged black \Nbirds nest here, our crows- you can hear-
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.95,0:00:25.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,come here as well. But we have a problem, \Nwe have mosquito larva. It's cold, it's
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.76,0:00:29.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,October, we're getting down to freezing at\Nnight but the larva are still surviving in
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.76,0:00:33.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the water. Occasionally the adults are\Nemerging on warm days and we're not
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.76,0:00:38.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,trying to raise mosquito's. So, we're adding\Na fish to the pond, a type of fish. It's
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.78,0:00:42.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not a native species, which I wouldn't\Nnormally do. But in this case it's a native
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.48,0:00:47.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,species that has not been invasive into \Nour region. It's a type of fish that we've
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.66,0:00:51.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,enjoyed having in the past. Let's see if I\Ncan scan here. They're getting ready to go
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.15,0:00:55.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in; it's koi. I know we have quite a bit\Nof reflection on the water. I'm going to
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.15,0:00:59.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,go close, but they're a little skittish\Nso they may swim away. It's hard to see
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.63,0:01:04.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,them, but we have four in here. We have\Nthe one that kind of stands out in the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.98,0:01:09.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,middle there, the white with splotches of \Nred or reddish orange, that's a kohaku.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.99,0:01:15.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's a very characteristic type of koi. \NThere are two to the left that are gold
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.76,0:01:20.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with black spots, those two are bekkos.\NThey may grow up and lose the black but I
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.71,0:01:24.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think that they're probably going to keep \Nit. On the right holding very very still,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.20,0:01:28.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I know it's hard to see with the water\Nreflection, but that's acari muji. Which
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.56,0:01:33.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is basically a all one color, in this case\Ngold. So, I got these, I'll see if I can
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.14,0:01:37.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get a side view of the tank without \Nscaring them. They're acclimating to the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.06,0:01:43.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,water temperature right now and it takes\Nthem some time. I got them at a local pet
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.44,0:01:47.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,store, kind of a chain pet store. You can't\Nreally see them there. They were in
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.93,0:01:52.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mistakenly with the goldfish, so I scored \Na great deal. But they did have a parasite-
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.32,0:01:56.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ick. So, I've had them in captivity for a \Nfew weeks, kind of making sure they got
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.99,0:02:01.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,larger. I treated them with a little bit\Nof salty water, some formalin and
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.60,0:02:05.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,malachite which you have to be very careful\Nhandling and dosing. But it worked, it got
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.19,0:02:10.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rid of the ick, at least visibly. They're \Nbreathing well, they're eating a lot. I've
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.47,0:02:13.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,already been training them eating mosquito\Nlarva. We're going to put them in as soon
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.84,0:02:18.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as they acclimate. Adding water in from \Nthe pond, the tank sitting in the water.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.65,0:02:20.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Soon they'll be ready to go.
