Koi Fishes can live even up to 200 years old and there is even a hard evidence that they can live longer than this. The original Koi fish were cultivated as food fish by Chinese rice farmers in the 17th century. When brought to the Niigata Prefecture, Japan’s premier rice-growing region, rice farmers there continued to keep Koi as a food source, especially during winter. But along the time line between the 1820s and 1830s, they start to observe that some Koi had amazing colors and markings on their bodies. This is where they have begun to change their minds about this type of carp (yes, it’s simply a carp but they’re the most beautiful types of carps…). They started to put Koi fishes in a Koi pond and let them thrive and multiply. Then they saw that it really made a difference in making a house beautiful especially when they are located right in front of the house. Some even considered it as luck to put a Koi pond right up front.
