While a Chinese book from the Jin Dynasty (4th century), the koi mentions as a multicolored carp, it is believed that breeding koi and ornamental fish in the 19th century in the Japanese prefecture of Niigata would have begun when rice farmers discovered that some carp nicer were stained than others.
