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.
