| in your opinion, what makes the nishikigoi hobby different from others?
Let it roll out of you! I know its in you all. Post why a portion of your life is dedicated to life long road of koi. Write in whatever form of writing you wish. The point of this thread is the appreciation of our common interest, koi!
Here's mine.
There is something about a healthy, irridescent nishikigoi gliding just below the water level that captivates me. Seeing seemingly unnatural colors exist in a fish that is freshwater fish! Freshwater fish do not normally have such BRILLIANT colors. That trait is supposed to be in saltwater fish!
seeing the Pectoral fins outstretch like carefully designed wings and moving is such precise movements to navigate the koi exactly where it chooses to go, Perfectly right in its existence.
In a weird way, the nishikigoi somehow symbolizes me. |
