It is a beautiful fish and easy to bring up in pools and aquariums. I have it in my aquarium. We call it 'carp'. Beautiful haiku dear Tom.

A colorful Haiku Tom. When we were in Hawaii last month I used to watch these colorful fish in the many ponds around the Hotel resort complex. Fascinating to watch but not as colorful as your picture. They were a gift to The Hilton by the Japanese Emperor years ago and are very valuable...All the best for the contest ~Hugs ...Maria :)
