A Koi Pond in Taronga Zoo Sydney Australia. A Koi is a colored varieties of the Amur carp (Cyprinus rubrofuscus) that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor Koi Ponds, Water Gardens or Aquariums. Koi, also called Nishikigoi, is the Japanese pronunciation of the common word between Japan and China meaning brocade carp.

There is a description of Koi with color variation in ancient Chinese literature, but many varieties of Koi for ornamental purpose, which are now known around the world, originated from the breeding that began in Niigata, Japan in the early 19th century during the Edo period. Several varieties are recognized by the Japanese. Koi varieties are distinguished by coloration, patterning, and scalation. Some of the major colors are white, black, red, orange, yellow, blue, and cream.
