Koi carp ponds are becoming a must-have for Filipinos as people see how beautiful they look in their friends’ gardens, and want to have one for themselves.The appeal is easy to understand. Koi carp can live to be 40 or older, and in the right environment, can grow impressively large. Originally bred in Japan from the common carp, they have been treasured for their beauty for centuries. They come in an amazing variety of colors, from purest silvery white, to pale gold, through to yellow orange, coral, flame red, blue, and all the way to velvety black. They also come in many intricate pattern variations.
