The beautiful fish in this image are called koi fish.  Koi fish are "...not only a pet, but also art," says Taro Kodama, president of Kodama Koi Farm.  "They are called living jewels - beautiful as one koi, even more beautiful as a group."  According to the website How Stuff Works.com, koi fish are gentle and eat snails, insects, algae and plants.  Red is their signature color, but they can also come in yellow, black, white, and blue.  They can grow to be very big, and you may see them in zoos and botanical gardens.  Most koi can live to be 20 to 30 years old.




You can find koi fish at the Shelter Gardens pool.  Enjoy!

That is all for today.  Have a great weekend!
