Asagi Koi Resin Figure Fish - Cyprinus carpio Animal Heavenly Body

Cyprinus carpio, specifically the Asagi Koi, is one of the oldest and most distinctive varieties of koi. Asagi Koi are revered for their serene beauty and have a significant place in koi culture and pond aesthetics. Their calm demeanor and striking coloration make them a favorite among koi enthusiasts. ● Natural Habitat and Distribution ● Originally derived from common carp native to Europe and Asia, Asagi Koi, like all koi, have been selectively bred in Japan for centuries. They thrive in outdoor koi ponds and water gardens worldwide, adapted through selective breeding to live in various climates as ornamental pond fish. ● Size, Weight, and Physical Characteristics ● Asagi Koi are characterized by their light blue scales on the upper body and a red or orange pattern that typically appears along the sides, belly, and sometimes on the fins. The scales on the back are neatly aligned and give a net-like appearance, which is highly valued among koi breeders and collectors. Adult Asagi can range in size considerably, generally from 60 to 90 cm (24 to 35 inches), when fully mature, depending on the conditions of their environment. ● Behavior and Lifestyle ● Koi are known for their peaceful and friendly nature. Asagi Koi are no exception; they are gentle and can interact with humans, often feeding directly from the hand. They are hardy fish, able to adapt to various water temperatures and conditions, though they thrive best in well-maintained water with adequate filtration to keep the environment clean and oxygen-rich.
