Several species such as the various goldfish ( Carassius auratus ) breeds and the domesticated common carp variety known as koi ( Cyprinus rubrofuscus var. "koi" ) have been popular ornamental fishes. As a result, carp have been introduced to various locations, though with mixed results. Several species of carp are considered invasive species in
81-636: A domesticated varieties of common carp and Amur carp ( Cyprinus rubrofuscus ) that have been selectively bred for color. The common carp was introduced from China to Japan, where selective breeding in the 1820s in the Niigata region resulted in koi. In Japanese culture, koi are treated with affection, and seen as good luck. They are popular in other parts of the world as outdoor pond fish.
