The origin of the Koi species is uncertain and varied. They have been
discovered in carvings, paintings and artwork and in the earliest written records
of ancient China. The Black and Caspian Seas are thought to have been their
source of origin before they were exported to Japan where today, they have the
distinction of being the National Fish and are held in great esteem by the Japanese.
Their name, Nishikigoi, in Japanese means colorful carp.
