Description
One of the first Koi in my pond was this big girl I named Golden One. I bought "Goldie" when she was only about 10 inches long and now she is sitting around 24 inches long. I had to temp her with Cheerios to come up in the middle of a sun beam to get this shot.
From Wiki:
The word koi comes from Japanese, simply meaning "carp." It includes both the dull grey fish and the brightly colored varieties. What are known as koi in English are referred to more specifically as nishikigoi in Japan (literally meaning "brocaded carp"). In Japanese, koi is a homophone for another word that means "affection" or "love"; koi are therefore symbols of love and friendship in Japan.
