Only, though both are varieties of carp, koi and goldfish are only distant relatives. Koi are bred for beauty, exhibiting a wide variety of colorations in distinct patterns and “scalations.” They are “ornamental” rather than edible fish. They are living abstract artworks in motion, endlessly gliding in and out of new compositions for their watery “canvas.”      Koi by Klyph (https://www.deviantart.com/klyph)      Koi by gepecto (https://www.deviantart.com/gepecto)      Koi by kreaseahtorah (https://www.deviantart.com/kreaseahtorah)
