What a great story and magnificent photos of Koi Carp! I didn't know that they can live that long! I saw them only once in the natural habitat, but unfortunately, many times in too small ponds and aquariums...

Also, the story about using them in rice fields has a lot of sense, and seeing carp (not Koi) in the rice fields of Lake Albufera in Spain got a logical explanation!

I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project which will be highlighted in the next post!
