probably the best known koi as far as age was Hanako, the koi reputed to be sevarl hundred years old. alledgedly the age was surmised from a telescope of a scale in which growth rings were interpreted into years. While this theory has been challenged koi is a long lived fish. especially when you think in terms of most dogs and cats that make it to the teen years ( 13-19 )
I'll comment more later!
