About
A koi fish is an ornamental carp breed that can grow to nearly two feet long in backyard ponds.
Koi are domesticated varieties of carp selected over generations for distinctive colors and patterns. Female koi generally grow larger and rounder than males, especially during the breeding season. Growth depends heavily on water temperature, food supply, and pond volume, with some specimens growing past 30 inches (0.76 m) in spacious settings.
From Wikipedia
