Feeeed me!!!!

Our friends have a koi pond with the largest ones I've ever seen. Some of the fish are 8 years old at least. They literally eat out of his fingers! I was going to write a little story from this fellows' perspective but you are spared as I have to work! I just loved this one's mouth and the way it was waiting and tracking where David's hand was, knowing that meant dinner. Weird to see fish behaving so intelligently! (I know, just trained response, but it really looked like they were excited for dinner).

I don't know why, but the mouths of carp/koi creep me out. Great clarity and color.

Oh wow, looks great with that big mouth open, yes it´s definitely screaming feed me and how odd that behaviour, never though fish would be that intelligent either, how odd indeed. I would have liked to hear his story

That is interesting how trained they are at meal time. I did not know their mouths were that big.

@timandelke So funny but the next day, he was right there ready for more food and his mouth every bit as big! But the four singing ones managed to crowd him out at one point. It was all very dramatic.

@mariyakey Heehee, Mariya! He looks scarier in the photo than he did in real life.
