[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 350062, member: 1963"] Some people with fancy ponds actually collect Koi. They are a form of domesticated cyprinid (or...c.a.r.p) bred for fancy colors and scale patterns. Amongst collectors, koi can sell for literally hundreds of thousands of dollars. They are very friendly and extremely intelligent fish (I've met some trained to jump out of the water and through hoops or to jump out of the water and ring a bell...and all of that for bit of bread or (healthier) fish food pellet. They do get out or get turned loose when they get too big (the cheaper ones, of course) and I know in Lake Michigan it is not at all unusual to see koi swimming with schools of their lesser cousins. They get HUGE, too, at least when not confined to ponds and tanks. I like 'em, and I find the evolution of "that" term to be amusing as well. [/QUOTE]
