FAQs

What is the difference between koi and koi carp?

Koi and koi carp refer to the same fish; 'koi' is simply a common abbreviation for 'koi carp,' which is a colourful ornamental variety of the common carp selectively bred for distinct patterns and colours.

How long do koi fish live?

Koi fish typically live between 25 and 35 years on average, but with proper care, they can live up to 50 to 60 years. Some exceptional koi have been known to live for over 200 years, depending on genetics, water quality, diet, and environment.

Why are koi carp so expensive?

The price of koi carp varies widely based on colour patterns, size, breed quality, and lineage; while simple koi can cost only a few pounds, prize-winning, show-quality koi may sell for thousands or even over a million pounds due to their rarity, breeding complexity, and cultural significance.

Where do koi carp originate from?

Koi carp originated from common carp brought from China to Japan; originally used as food fish in China, Japanese breeders began selectively breeding them in the early 1800s for their ornamental colours and patterns.
