A koi fish within a lotus circle
The koi moves through water marked by rounded, overlapping ripples. Scales cover its body, and softly waving fins extend into the surrounding scene. Lotus blossoms, rising bubbles, and stylized waterside plants frame the fish and its path through the pond.
Koi in garden ponds
Koi are ornamental varieties of the common carp and have been selectively bred for their colors and markings. They are social fish that often gather near the surface when they associate people with food. Lotus plants suit calm pond environments because their leaves and flowers rise from stems rooted in the mud below.
