Koi Fish Is 226 Years Old

Two hundred and twenty-six years I am told. Is how many years this koi fish is old. But who has kept track? How far could they go back? I demand an explanation, big and bold.

Sure sounds fishy to me! I think that they try to pull our legs on porpoise. Just for the halibut! ~ Mr. Limpet

Good write, Caren. As for the facts, fifty is a great age for a carp. One hundred aint gonna happen. I’ve been ‘fishy’ since I won a goldfish at a fair when I was nine (and that was months ago). The Japanese like to credit Koi with all kinds of mysticism... but they’re just specially bred, coloured carp. Well... you did ask. ;-) Terry

I saw this in a world book encyclopedia Terry. Does not mean it is true, but....

Me, too, Caren. Hey, be sure to check out my Vogon, which was written because of your challenge.

Thank you. I sat down and wrote out a bunch of titles that made me happy yesterday.
