For the dummies wondering what yer talkin about..
This is an AKCA Champion koi fish. Basically a heavily inbred carp, resulting in some fantastic colorations. They grow quite large, given the right conditions, and can live as long as 100 years (documented)
"Kakkate" sounds alot like "caga te" in spanish, which means, basically, "sh*t yourself". So this could be construed as an insult or a command to these poor fishies..

yep. and the Spanish for 'garlic' (ajo) when said is the Kansai (Osaka) dialect essentially for 's---head'. Funny how all these things are connected. I guess we will did originate from the horn of Africa after all.....

I thought "Kakkate" sounded like what my son's cat does on my carpet.
