Finding “Koi”

Ever heard of kohaku, showa, sanke, tancho, doitsu, shushui, shiru utsuri, goshiki invading our city? Okay, one sounds like a pomade brand.   

These are just about the cutest fishes to fill the ponds of one lovely backyard somewhere in Apovel, up there in Patag side of the town.  Now, if only they could talk they will tell us the way to Nemo’s place.

Japanese Koi
Japanese koi is here and hobbyists are up and fishing about -- where? CDOKAY takes you to the fascinating ponds of the Caumban Brothers’ Japanese Koi Collection -- the ‘Home of Quality Japanese Koi in Cagayan de Oro’.

And then there are nozomi koi food and fish pond and filtration set-up.  They’ve got this beautiful bonsai collections, too. And if you are looking for someone to set up a Zen Japanese garden for you -- perhaps a koi swimming in your mini-pond, contact us: Tabby at 09275106326 or Bong at 09209034363.

CDO-you-know: The original Japanese word koi simply means ‘carp’.  Today, koi in Japan means 'love, affection' and Japanese Kois have come to symbolize love and friendship.
