🇧🇪 This week on The Koi Perspective Podcast, William and I travelled to Belgium to visit one of Europe’s most respected koi dealerships.Before we start, a quick apology for my voice throughout this episode. I was battling a throat infection during the trip, so if I sound a little croaky at times, that’s why! Thankfully, it didn’t stop us from exploring some fantastic facilities and talking plenty of koi.During the visit, we take a look behind the scenes, explore the dealership, discuss koi selection, and see some stunning Japanese imports. We also chat about what makes the Belgian koi scene unique and how it compares to the UK hobby.💡 This episode is proudly sponsored by OASE: https://oase.comUse the Link to sign up to the next magazine: https://www.thekoiperspective.com/subscribe📱 Follow us for more koi content:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheKoiPerspectiveFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheKoiPerspectiveTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.koi.perspective🛍️ Explore our printed magazine and merchandise:Magazine: https://www.thekoiperspective.comShop: https://www.thekoiperspective.com/store🎧 Find us on Spotify and other podcasting apps:https://pod.link/1787901550#KoiPond #KoiFiltration #KoiKeeping #PondFiltration #Koi #KoiPondFilter #GardenPond #KoiHealth #ClearPondWater #KoiMasterclass #PondLife #KoiKeeper #FishPond #KoiPondBuild #TheKoiPerspective
