Koi are Golden Fish in More Ways than One! No Carping About Them, Though!
In Japan, they are also known as "Nishikigoi"--and you will find them in almost every town and city in Japan--usually around the parks, temples, and historical buildings--namely the castles. The fish are also very popular in the tourist areas of Hawaii, Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong, Kowloon, and other areas that have good access to fresh and warm water.

- We have koi here in the Philippines too but the ones in Japan are much, much bigger! Have you seen the white ones with a red circle? I love how they look like the Japanese flag. Lovely pictures, lovely lens. ~Blessed~
