Koi Fishes can live up to 200 years old and there is even a hard evidence that they can live longer than this. The first Koi fish were nursed as food fish by Chinese rice farmers in the 1800’s. 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 somewhere between the 1820s and 1830s, they are beginning to take notice that some Koi had amazing colors and markings on their scales. This is where they began to change their minds about this type of carp (yes, it’s simply a carp but they are the most beautiful kinds 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. Other people even considered it as luck putting a Koi pond right in front of, say, a house.
