Arizona Koi,
are friendly fish.
They aren’t afraid of getting hooked,
but do expect some tasty treats!
I had no fishy food,
but still they followed me,
around the ponds,
like swimming puppy dogs!
Cheers to you from Arizona’s friendly koi~

In Ann Arbor Michigan at Matthaei Botanical Gardens they have some of these beautiful fish.
I would love to see them. I have read that koi can live under frozen ice if they have enough oxygen which is amazing დ
I’m not telling my aunt that her Koi could have been moved from Florida to Minnesota. She would have found a way to keep her backyard pond full of oxygen. She would have left the two little bass I caught and threw in her pond. Great pictures Cindy.
I love your aunt! დდ
Great shorts of them! I love their bright colors. I think they can be mesmerizing to watch them swimming in the pond especially if you give them some food so that they gather near you.
Yes! I didn’t have the food, but they still hung out with me which was so fun დ
Gorgeous doesn’t begin to cover it.
Awww………Thank you so much Gigi! I had so much fun hanging out with these guys დ

beautiful. I’m so glad you are “wandering” again. virtual hugs
Thank you. Traveling again feels like using muscles that haven’t been exercised! Good to be back on the program დ
Name koi stands for both love and affection in old version of Japanese Language and these beautiful water livings stand for that we have plenty of them mostly every home in HkG have a binch of happy Koi fish. They are good fortune symbol for people here. They live in group and play happily.
These pics are beautiful and extremely delight to watch . I will be saving them for my screen saver if you permit me to download CK.
Cheers. Happy smiles to you.

Thank you დ
Aww… fishy lips 🙂 fish do have feelings, i learned that long ago.
You learned well my friend დ
I have never seen a blue koi carpe! I wonder why?
Possibly selective breeding over time. They remind me of delft and royal Copenhagen china დ
They come in various sizes too. The smaller ones are ideal for an aquararium.
I found babies in a creek once დ
Beautiful and love the words accompanying these gorgeous golden movers. We had our pond fish inside in a big aquarium one year and I didn’t want to put them back in the Spring! A joy to watch.
Wonderful They are interactive without fish food. They are a total joy to spend lots of time with დ
Cindy – amazing puppy fish – just incredible really!

Love to you Sheila დ
