Hello fellow Steemians while taking this photo a frog jumps in and surprises me.

Orange Koi fish for Tuesday challenge and some information on Kois

• Koi fish have beautiful colors because of selective breeding and have the same ancestor as goldfish.

• Koi fish can mate with goldfish but produce sterile offspring.

• Koi can get up to 3 feet in length depending on the conditions they live in.

• Koi recognize the hand that feeds them and can be taught to eat from the hand.

• Koi fish can get sunburned.

• Koi fish live 25-30 years but if everything is right in their environment can live up to 100 years.

A friend of mine just had his great big 11 yr old yellow Koi die. They are quite beautiful.

I was surprised what I learned about them...now I know why they turn around once they get close for the photo..they know I am not the one that feeds them.. :) sorry about her fish.

Really! I had no idea. Smart fish! 🐟
