KOI BOWL The Koi is a member of the carp family
of fish. Carp have long been kept and bred as pets in many civilizations.
The ancient Romans kept them in ponds and fountains and bred the ancestors
of today's common Goldfish. In China, they are recognized as good luck symbols.
The colorful Koi carp available today are the result of a strain first bred
160 years ago in Japan from a naturally occurring mutation. The word Koi actually
translates to "carp" in Japanese. Inspired by Japanese tsukubai (a hand-washing
bowl used in tea ceremonies), this Koi bowl will allow you to keep Koi, without
having to worry about pesky predators.
