    COMMON NAME OF THE SPECIE: Koi

    LOCATION: The common carp or European carp (Cyprinus carpio) is a widespread freshwater fish of eutrophic waters in lakes and large rivers in Europe and Asia.

    HABITAT: Although tolerant of most conditions, common carp prefer large bodies of slow or standing water and soft, vegetative sediments. As schooling fish, they prefer to be in groups of five or more. They naturally live in temperate climates in fresh or slightly brackish water

    SIZE: UPTO 100 cm UPTO 15 kg

    DIET: Common carp are omnivorous. They can eat a herbivorous diet of aquatic plants, but prefer to scavenge the bottom for insects, crustaceans (including zooplankton), crawfish, and benthic worms.

    FACT: The koi fish is symbolic in Japanese culture as a symbol of luck, prosperity, and good fortune, and is closely associated with the country's national identity.
