This morning we took the girls down to the National Arboretum to feed the koi (錦鯉, ornamental Cyprinus carpio). Evelin's taken the girls down there a couple of times in recent weeks, but on weekdays the koi food dispensers are usually empty. (They only refill the feeders on Saturdays so that the fish don't burst.) A koi feeding frenzy is quite a sight and, as the above clip shows, Celeste was happy to encourage all the activity. Quinn acted as assistant cinematographer and key grip for the shoot.

This is a great video. Koi as pets or a hobby is very popular right now. There are plenty of people I know who are Koi crazy.
I've never seen fish do that, are these any way related to goldfish?
Mind if I put this on my blog?
Hi Rhye, Yeah, koi are kind of wild. They're pretty smart, as far as fish go, and actually trainable to a degree. They're a variety of carp and are related to goldfish (I think they're closely enough related to interbreed, but I could be wrong about that ...). Go ahead, if you want to post it on your blog, that's cool.
