They Are Graceful

I guess most fish would be considered graceful in the water. However, the long flowing fins of the Koi fish seem to make it more elegant than fish with plain looking fins. I like how Koi can make a sharp turn in the water and make it look more like a dance move than a simple turn.

They Have Beautiful Colors

Some Koi have specific patterns on their bodies while others are covered with random splotches of orange, white, black, or gold. The scales can be one or more of these colors all on the same fish. They are gorgeous streaks of color as they swim through the water.

They Are a Great Addition to Ponds

Koi will eat random bugs that fly into a garden pond. However, they will also eat plants in this same pond, even if the plants aren't meant for them to consume. I think the positive outweighs the negative aspects when it comes to adding Koi to any pond.

They Are Interesting to Watch

I can't think of a more relaxing way to spend a sunny afternoon than by watching Koi swim about the pond. When they get used to people feeding them at a certain time, they will swarm to the side of the pond whenever a person comes near. They also seem to interact nicely with one another as well.

They Are Easy to Take Care of

I've never found fish hard to care for, especially Koi. They are usually in an outside pond and require regular feedings, but not much else. As long as you are able to make sure they are safe during the cold months, everything else to do with their care is a snap!

If you are fond of fish, then I'm sure you agree with some of the reasons I've mentioned above for liking Koi. These creatures are a delight to people who have them as pets. Setting up a location for them is much easier to maintain if you are able to invest in quality air and water pumps. Do you have a Koi pond that you care for? What do you like best about these type of fish?
