About This Item

Koi

Koi (鯉, English: /ˈkɔɪ/, Japanese: [koꜜi]), or more specifically nishikigoi (錦鯉, Japanese: [ɲiɕi̥kiꜜɡoi], literally "brocaded carp"), are colored varieties of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens. In recent years, there has been a trend to distinguish the East Asian Amur carp (Cyprinus rubrofuscus) as a separate species among the common carp, so the scientific name koi may be changed in the future.

Koi is an informal name for the colored variants of C. carpio kept for ornamental purposes. There are many varieties of ornamental koi, originating from breeding that began in Niigata, Japan in the early 19th century. Several varieties are recognized by the Japanese, distinguished by coloration, patterning, and scalation. Some of the major colors are white, black, red, orange, yellow, blue, brown and cream, besides metallic shades like gold and silver-white ('platinum') scales. 


鯉(こい、英語: /ˈkɔɪ/、日本語: [koꜜi])、またはより具体的には錦鯉(にしきごい、日本語: [ɲiɕi̥kiꜜɡoi]、文字通り「錦織りの鯉」)は、観賞用に飼育されるコイ(鯉、学名: Cyprinus carpio)の色彩のバリエーションで、屋外の鯉の池や水上庭園で装飾のために飼われています。近年では、東アジアのアムールコイ(学名: Cyprinus rubrofuscus)を鯉とは別の種として区別する傾向があり、将来的には鯉の学名が変更される可能性があります。

鯉は、観賞用に飼育されるC. carpioの色彩の変種の非公式な呼称です。日本では19世紀初頭に新潟で始まった繁殖から生まれた多くの観賞用鯉の品種があります。日本人によって認識されているいくつかの品種は、色彩、模様、鱗の配置で区別されています。主な色には白、黒、赤、オレンジ、黄色、青、茶色、クリームがあり、金や銀白(プラチナ)のような金属光沢もあります。
