The UK's Sun is responsible for the pun in the title, which I couldn't help but pass along. A man purchased this koi carp for his aquarium only to find that, as its scales aged, they darkened and formed a word. So the fish is now named that.

Or, if you flip the photo upside down it kinda looks like BONO;) .

Stuttering the name Onda doesn't sound as good as Wanda.

I believe that a batch of koi escaped from a secret base in which cleverly inscrutable Asian scientists are experimenting with new advertising possibilities, including fish which grow logos.

This is an early prototype fish, thus the lack of the "H" in Honda.

They are working on developing a type of koi with scales that will have their own lumescent glow to gently encourage us to buy the correctly harmonius product for our best feng shui health and cures.

It's a cleverly-disguised dolphin.
