Koi

DESCRIPTION Koi are the fish that are most commonly associated with garden ponds. They have been raised in the Orient for centuries, with the earliest colored varieties dating back two hundred years. Due to the size of these fish they should be kept in large sized ponds, especially if you plan on keeping more than a few fish. Koi have strong mouths, and like to dig in the substrate. Therefore, only tough leafed plants should be planted in the pond, and be sure to protect the roots and soil of your pots with a layer of gravel.Name: Assorted Koi (LG) Scientific Name: Cyprinus carpioGroup information: Fancy KoiExperience Level: IntermediateHousing: Tank Size - 240 gallons Behavior: PeacefulCompatibility: Schooling FishSwim Level: Top/MiddleFeeding Instructions: OmnivoreMaximum Size: 36 inVet Assured: Pets purchased at PetSmart are part of our exclusive Vet Assured program, designed by PetSmart veterinarians to help improve the health and well-being of our pets.
