Standard koi are a type of ornamental fish that originated from common carp. They are characterized by their vibrant scales, which can display a wide range of colors and patterns, including white, black, red, yellow, blue, and cream. Standard koi typically grow to an average length of 12-27 inches (30-69 cm) and weigh between 2-10 pounds (0.9-4.5 kg), with some specimens reaching up to 3 feet (90 cm) in length. They have a slender, elongated body shape with a rounded head and a long, flowing tail.
Standard koi are cold-water fish that thrive in temperatures between 35-85°F (2-30°C) and prefer well-oxygenated water with a pH range of 6.5-8.5. They are omnivores and feed on a variety of food sources, including commercial pellets, vegetables, and insects. Standard koi are social fish that live in groups and can be kept in ponds or aquariums with proper filtration and maintenance. They are relatively long-lived, with an average lifespan of 25-30 years, and can live up to 50 years or more with proper care and conditions.
