Koi fish

Koi fish are brightly colored, ornamental fish often found in outdoor ponds and water gardens. Originating from Japan, they are a variety of carp selectively bred for their striking patterns and hues, such as red, orange, yellow, and white. Known for their durability and graceful movement, koi symbolize good luck, perseverance, and longevity in many cultures. They thrive in well-maintained aquatic environments with clean, oxygen-rich water and can live for decades, sometimes over 50 years. Koi require proper care, including appropriate feeding, water quality management, and ample space to flourish.
