Last week I was stuck in the same Hotel in Dallas for business affairs for over a week (Wyndam Anatoe). When I got bored I would often walk out to the nice Koi pond they had in their small park outside. I know that a simple Koi pond is nothing rare, but this one was particularly neat because its a baby Koi factory!

Heeeere fishy fishy!:


Koi or any other carp seem to eat anything…

Gone in 2 sec:


Me me me me!:


Heres the interesting part – The main pond is on the left, and drains into a smaller lagoon on the right via waterfall with rocks blocking anything big:

Waterfall:


And in this smaller lagoon, there were hundreds or even thousands of baby Koi! I wanted to ask what the maintenance people might do with these, but I never found anyone that knew anything about it. This could practically be a Koi farm.
