Geschiedenis en doel
Achtergrond, bouw en oorspronkelijke rol
Oorspronkelijk doel
Ornamental pond fish selected for color, pattern, and calm viewing
Lichaam en bouw
Koi is a large fish with horse background whose build should be read beside moderate movement demand, moderate trainability, and a grooming load of 1/5.
Koi history is tied to Japanese ornamental carp breeding, where color, pattern, pond presence, and longevity became the focus. The realistic skill is not trick ambition; it is stable pond care and gentle feeding routines.
