l was visiting friend the other day, and took the opportunity to shoot a few pics of these fascinating creature called Ikan Koi. Beautiful creature indeed. Alas, my photography skill is still nothing to shout about.Beside physical things of food, good water and what have you, these Koi need more than that to glow, they need love...
And this lousy photographer just need more skill...

Err, actually what is the correct name for this species?
From Wikipedia......Koi (鯉?, English /ˈkɔɪ/, Japanese: [koꜜi]) or more specifically nishikigoi (錦鯉?, [niɕi̥kiꜜɡo.i], literally "brocaded carp"), are ornamental domesticated varieties of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens. They are also called Japanese carp.[citation needed]
Koi are among the longest-living vertebrates, with some animals living over 200 years.[citation needed] The most popular category of koi is the Gosanke, which is made up of the Kohaku, Taisho Sanshoku, and Showa Sanshoku varieties.[2]
The Japanese name means "Carp like Beautiful textile." Nishiki（錦、ニシキ） means "its like Beautiful textile," Koi（鯉、コイ） or Goi（鯉、ゴイ） mean "Carp".
