The koi in the photos are the exact koi fish you will receive when you order!
The longevity of koi fish—often living 35 to 45 years, with some individuals reported to reach over 100—can be credited to a combination of genetics, environment, care, and diet.
1. Genetics
-
Koi are selectively bred from the common carp (Cyprinus carpio), which is naturally hardy.
-
Some bloodlines, especially in Japan, are specifically bred for health and longevity.
2. Water Quality
-
Koi thrive in clean, well-oxygenated water with stable temperature and pH.
-
Poor water quality stresses their immune systems and shortens lifespan.
3. Diet
-
A balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals helps boost immunity and supports organ health.
-
Overfeeding or a poor-quality diet can lead to obesity, liver damage, and shortened lifespan.
