Assorted Butterfly Koi
Butterfly koi, longfin koi, or dragon carp are a type of ornamental fish notable for their elongated fins. The fish are a breed of the common carp, Cyprinus carpio, which includes numerous wild carp races as well as domesticated koi ("Nishikigoi").
Butterfly koi originated in the mid-20th century as a result of an effort to increase the hardiness of traditional koi. Japanese breeders interbred wild Indonesian longfin river carp with traditional koi. The resulting fish had longer fins, long barbells, pompom nostrils, and were hardier than koi. These were known in Japan as "onagaoi" or "hire naga goi", or translated in English "long tail carp".
These stunning UK-bred Butterfly Koi are perfect for outdoor ponds. They grow to a large size and will need a minimum depth of 3ft. Colour supplied at random.Please be aware that the image is for illustration purposes only. We are unable to guarantee the exact size, colour, sex or age of the assorted butterfly koi you are purchasing.
Why are they called Butterfly Koi?
Randy LeFever, the son of Wyatt LeFever, a noted breeder of koi, is credited with suggesting they looked like butterflies, a trait for which the breed is named.
Do Butterfly Koi eat plants?
Ornamental Koi tend to have an uneasy relationship with pond plants. Either they will eat them, or move them around so much as to damage them. It is generally not a good idea to keep plants in a dedicated Koi pond. Plus, it is so much more rewarding to view your prized Koi fish unobstructed.

Works just like it should
Bought this for a 2011 BMW 550i xdrive. This fits perfectly if not just a bit too snug. It took just a bit to get it off the oil filter cap. Saved the day though!
