This has a real WTF factor going on.

I wish it was in English. I'd like to know the how's of the cause for the Koi to have such a face. Even the eyes are no longer on the side like regular Koi.

Natural mutation?
Man made genetic engineering?
Selective breeding?

It looks really weird!

I think someone got caught playing outside of the school yard.

I think it is some kind of hoax. Why on earth would a fish have a nose? I dont think even a mutation would have that.

Looks like something out of a Japanese horror film. 8O

All Koi have a nose! They also have 2 nostrils they use for scent!! :)

This isnt anything new. Turns out its man made hybreeding!!

Korean newspaper then carried an article about the fish in South Korea. The fish is the result of artificial insemination between a carp and ayu sweetfish.

As the fish grew larger, the design on the fish reportedly changed to look more like the face of a human being. LINK From news 2005 (http://www.local6.com/news/4112928/detail.html)

*Koi are carp.

This makes me think of something from Monty Python...you know, where the aquarium fish have the faces of John Cleese, Graham Chapman, etc? It's one of the movies, but I can't remember which one.
