German carp
Phyllis and I went to Germany for a couple of weeks (I am a family
therapist. We were working with military families. Many are hurting and yet can't pursue family or couple help. It is OK to be divorced, but it hurts your career to go for therapy. Sad.) I was remembering that koi came to Japan as European/German carp and wondered what the ancesters looked like. We saw some carp in Germany. They do look like the non-show koi, more angular and less 'submarine-like'. The green/grey of European carp is certainly improved on by the koi colors. It probably would not help them in their native rivers, but the color makes them a lot more fun in the pond! I appreciate, a lot, the effort needed to breed for color and design!
