Koi can live to 200+ year old
Never tot fish can live so long
Koi fish - 226 year old Koi are a domesticated kind of the common carp kept for decoration in artificial rock pools and ponds, there are types which are known to age to more than 200 years. One of the longest living vertebrate ever recorded, ‘Hanako’ translated into English as ‘Flower Maid’ is proof that women do live longer than men. The 15lb female fish from Japan died at the age of 226 in 1977. Born in 1751, 25 years before American independence, her old age could be accounted for by removing one of her scales and examining it extensively, similar to counting rings of a tree.

Great
Hi, thanks for the info. Didn't know that Koi can live past 200 yrs old, thought fish can live up to 20 yrs only. Guess it's posssible now that I am thinking of those creatures in the deep sea.

Koi and other fish don't live so long in our weather. They need an overwintering period in order to extend their lives.

Thats why in japan etc, mostly where they have winter they live much longer. Something along the line where cooler weather slows down the body metabolism.
