hehehehe, cool isnt it. although its not strictly freshwater, brackish. but isnt carp purely freshwater? It doesnt look photoshopped also. it was problably taken from a camera phone.

but still, I dont think they can live that long.

Bored?

Is it just me, or do those fish look like they're a little bored. Shouldn't there be some plants or rocks or something in there for them to explore?

Such "conversions" are fairly commonplace, but the long-term health of the fish involved usually suffers.

Actually, it appears that all the fish in question were maintained in fullly freshwater salinity.

the fishstore guy showed that to me before. i would have done it the other way, koi are really tough and can take water with higher salinity. once medicated a koi in salt and i noticed he wouldn't make it so i dumped in a bunch of salt and a lot of ice and 2 days later he was still alive.
