| Koi varieties |
I just fed my Japanese koi fish and carp. Winter is comming because the fish have almost no appetite. Nevertheless it is important that they get enough food for the winter so they survive.
By the way: The word 'koi' comes from Japanese, simply meaning "carp." It includes both the dull grey fish and the brightly colored varieties. What are known as 'koi' in English are referred to more specifically as 'nishikigoi' in Japan (literally meaning 'brocaded carp'). In Japanese, 'koi' is a homophone for another word that means 'affection' or 'love'; koi are therefore symbols of love and friendship in Japan. An example of this is given in a short story by Mukoda Kuniko, "Koi-san".[8]
