Considering that committed koi carp collectors are prepared to cough up colossal amounts of cash for a colourful cyprinid that is apparently perfect, it still seems slightly strange to come across their less cared for cousins casually wallowing about in the wild.
And, while they may lack copybook colourings or even cuteness, they still possess a considerable amount of character.
