Please log in for more thread options What do you think? Sometimes when I go to see them, they swim up to me.
I know what you'll say: "They swim over to you, because they want FOOD!"

Odds are its an asspociation of people =3Dfood.
I rarely if ever feed my koi in the mud ponds, and do have a koi or
two that routinely come up tp me if for nothing else than to get
their bellies etc rubbed...........

My Koi and Rosy-Barbs in my pond come and try to eat the skin off my fingers.
Luckily I don't stock Piranhas.

Here's some fun facts.
Forums are a great way to learn about ponds and koi. Here's some
interesting facts about koi to pass the time. What other fun facts do
you know?
Koi Can Taste: They have taste buds almost everywhere: On their lips
Within their mouth cavity Their fleshy barbels (2 in each corner of
the mouth) bear numerous taste buds and are highly sensitive to touch
Most of their bodies are covered with innumerable taste buds,
including their fins and tail
Koi Can Smell: The lining of the olfactory or nasal organ in Koi has
special sensory cells to function as smell receptors.
Koi Can Blush: Koi show stress by blushing red in their fins and on
their bodies. When they are handled in a net you can see the red in
their fins, between the spines. Also when they are in a stressful
environment, such as bad water, they will often show a red blush on
their bodies under the scales. Sometimes they almost look like they
have varicose veins. Often seen as red in the front spines of the
dorsal fin, and on the caudal fin. If you see this they are trying to
tell you something is causing them stress. Take measures to relieve
the stress or you will start to lose Koi. This is similar to when we
blush from embarrassment or stress.
