See our attractive Koi carp in their tranquil surroundings at Koi Niwa.

These colourful fish are ornamental varieties of domesticated common carp. These domesticated varieties are not therefore threatened in the wild. In contrast, the wild common carp are classed as vulnerable. Native populations are slowly declining due to river regulation and hybridisation with domesticated introduced stocks.
