About Koi & Goldfish
A garden pond on a still morning holds a kind of magic: the slow arc of a koi catching the light, a flash of orange vanishing beneath a lily pad, the gentle ripple spreading outward from a rising gill. Goldfish and koi have been kept and cherished for centuries, bred into an astonishing range of colors and fin shapes, from the flowing fantail to the compact, rounded ryukin. To watch them drift is to slow down completely, the shimmer of scales doing what no clock can.
