WHY ADOPT KOI FISH
Koi Make Great Pets
Owner friendly – If you want to own pets but time demands or allergies would interfere, having a koi pond in your yard may be the perfect solution for you.
Koi fish will nibble their food right out of your hand with little training. Place food on your hand and then lower your hand slowly into the water. They have no teeth, so they cannot bite. As they swim by, hold your hand still in the water and learn which ones will seek to be petted. This lovely gestures make them all the more endearing.
Long lived – Many koi fish live 50 years or longer and may be owned by your family for generations. There is even one famous koi that lived well past 200 years.
Koi are a Healthy, Nature-Friendly Hobby
Nature friendly – You may find that eye-catching and colorful plants arise in the the areas near your koi pond. In turn, these new plants may attract more butterflies and birds, adding to your peaceful space in nature.

Stress is a known risk factor for a number of health ailments such as high blood pressure, certain heart conditions, and anxiety disorders.
