Carp are a large group of fish originally found in Central Europe and Asia. Various carp species were originally domesticated in East Asia, where they were used as food fish. Carp are coldwater fish, and their ability to survive and adapt to many climates and water conditions allowed the domesticated species to be propagated to many new locations, including Japan.

The outside world was unaware of the development of color variations in Japanese koi until 1914 when the Niigata koi were exhibited at an annual exposition in Tokyo.   

Koi or more specifically nishikigoi, are colored varieties of the Amur carp that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens. Koi is an informal name for the colored variants of C. rubrofuscus kept for ornamental purposes.

Common Carp (Cyprinus Carpio)

Im not making it less common but the Common Carp is a freshwater fish that can easily be kept in any aquarium, though it will become 75cm at least which would then require it to be the size of your living room, unless youre living in a deserted castle like me ofcourse, anyway, its a great gamefish too, my record is 92cm in length and 35 pounds in weight. Compared to variants with less scales, i.e. mirror carp, this one is much more resistant to diseases and parasites, but its looks are quite ehm common.
