This print showcases a mesmerizing Sanke Koi Carp pool, featuring the stunning red, white, and black Sanke variety of Koi. Known as "brocaded carp" in Japanese, these ornamental domesticated fish are kept for their beauty in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens. With their vibrant colors and intricate patterns, they add an enchanting touch to any aquatic landscape. Koi are not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly long-lived creatures. In fact, some individuals have been known to live for over 200 years! Their longevity is just one of the many fascinating aspects of these remarkable fish. The photograph was taken at the handpick pools located at Kibbutz Maagan Michael's aquaculture breeding farm in Israel. This facility specializes in breeding various species of fish and plays a crucial role in sustaining the pisciculture industry. Koi varieties can be distinguished by their unique color combinations, patterns, and scales. Among them, the Gosanke category stands out as particularly popular among enthusiasts. It comprises three sub-varieties: Kohaku (white body with red markings), Taisho Sanshoku (white body with red and black markings), and Showa Sanshoku (black body with red and white markings). Photographed by PhotoStock-Israel from Science Photo Library, this image beautifully captures the allure of these magnificent creatures while highlighting the importance of responsible fish farming practices for both conservation efforts and aesthetic appreciation purposes.
