Koi were developed in Japan and were selectively bred to be seen from above in ponds. (That is why they have very broad colourful backs in proportion to their 24 inch long bodies). They are egg layers so they do not "give birth". Given a very large tank they may spawn but one spawning can result in several thousand fry to try to look after.

∙ 14y agoKoi Carp were bred to have long bodies and broad colourfull backs specially for being viewed from above. They are essentially pond fish. They grow to over 24 inches long and as such, if you want to keep them in an aquarium successfully, you will need a very large tank. One Koi would need something in the region of 70+ gallons.
