The domestic koi fish we own today in the aquarium industry is a domesticated subspecies of the Common carp. A few of these features are: large scales, two barbels on each side of the mouth, and the first dorsal and anal fin spines are serrated. The species generally inhabits lakes, ponds, and the lower sections of rivers (usually with moderately flowing or standing water), but is also known from brackish-water estuaries, backwaters, and bays (Barus et al.
