Domestic Assorted Koi
The skill and patience of centuries of Japanese breeders is apparent in this vivid, high quality variety of Domestic Assorted Koi. The national fish of Japan, the Cyprinus carpio, is a domesticated, colored carp. A native of Eastern Asia, these beautiful, animated, hardy, specimens are completely peaceful even at their maximum captive length of more than two feet. Petsolutions offers only the highest caliber specimens from breeders of outstanding reputation. Koi can survive winters in many areas of the U.S. Simply allow oxygen exchange by ensuring that a hole exists in any solid ice that might form on the top of the pond. These gentle giants can live in captivity for decades. They are aggressive eaters, yet can adapt to eat from the owner's hand. Koi are omnivores and will eat a variety of high-quality flake or pellet food. All plant roots in a barrel or pond should be protected, as the Koi will enjoy the tasty treat of any exposed plant roots.
