My cousin has about 15 koi in a pond in his back yard. He raises them and sells them to people once they get really huge. Cleaning the 4 filters he has to keep the water clean is a pig, though. Man alive, can those fish POOP!!!

I won two fish at a carnival. They lived for like... three years ._. it was nuts. XD And ate any other fish I put in the tank.

My dad has a friend who breeds koi. He wants to buy some of the black ones that don't sell for pets to stuff into his beaver pond to clean it up (old vegetation and whatnot. Apparently koi are really good at that). However, we're talking a wild beaver pond and the guy's wife who's an environmental supervisor of sorts is having none of *that!*

My mother also brought some goldfish back from Japan when she was young. The fish were so docile that the airline attendent grabbed her bag and threw it onto the baggage scanner before she could tell him about it and you could see these huge goldfish swimming very calmly back and fourth on the security monitor which no one happened to be looking at at the time, so she flew back with two goldfish in her carry-on bag and they did fine. This, of course, was back when people were allowed to smoke on airplanes.

Carnival fish are pretty aggressive. My next door neighbor got a goldfish from a carnival once. Whenever it was hungry, it would jump out of the tank at you like it was trying to attack you! If there was a lid on the tank, it was able to knock it off, too. It got to be a pretty dang huge goldfish. I don't know if she still has it or not. I'll ask her next time I see her.

I've always wanted to win a fish at a carnival. Never have been able to. Kinda sad really. Maybe this year I can! ^^

It's bad luck to eat koi... apparently they're not very tasty, either. My dad said they're not, anyway.

Who says I'm eating them? I'm just gnawing on them D8...like chew toys.
