Japanese koi carp are the stars in the garden pond. Dealers like Thomas Sieling travel to Japan to bring promising examples to Germany - and sell them at high prices.
The fish are transported to Germany in cardboard boxes. They are then photographed for an online shop and sold to the public. The price of a koi in Germany is between €100 and €200 per koi, depending on the size of the fish. For more information, visit koi-shop.com or go to koi.com.
