Two weeks ago, more than a dozen large koi - fish known for the colorful patterning on their scales - were reported missing from the Isamu Taniguchi Japanese Garden. The 13 fish, 2 to 3 feet long and 15 to 20 pounds, have been raised in the gardens since they were brought there throughout the 1980s.

Details.

[So many questions come to mind. For example, what kind of wine goes with koi?]

How big are the birds in Austin? A friend's backyard fish pond kept losing fish to birds.

If they can handle a 2 to 3 foot long fish. They are really big.

That's a heckuva-a-lot of sushi, and there was a well-attended music festival in Austin recently!!!

Well, Texas is known for our large wildlife.

Alternative theories:
1. Newbie noodlers in Austin needed training ground.
2. You need Poi for your Hawaiian dish? I thought you said you needed KOI!
3. Someone at the Capitol mentioned economies of scale, and their intern thought he meant fish scales.
4. UT is experimenting with alternative shades of orange again, and needed to color match the koi at Home Depot.
5. Evolutionists are convinced they grew legs and walked out of the pond.

No need to be KOI about your opinions, G.

That is the freakiest cat I have ever seen. I may have nightmares.

A man whose Del Valle home was searched by police Thursday for koi fish missing from Zilker Botanical Garden is not pleased with the Austin Police Department.
