I Absolutely Love Having Fish As Pets. The Koi Fish Can Be Fed Right From You As You Hold The Food To Them :) They Are Such A Peaceful, Tranquil Pet To Have. I Built A Pond In Our Back Yard For Our Koi Fish & Gold Fish To Be In Where They would Have A Lot Of Room To swim About Freely Outdoors In Their Most Natural Environment. I Put Them In A Paddling Pool To Capture A Clearer Image & A Real Close Up Of Them.
