Carp

A species of freshwater fish is the common carp. It is a freshwater fish found in lakes and bigger rivers in Asia and Europe. It is also known as "European Carp." The common carp fish can grow to be quite enormous. In general, wild Common carp are thinner than cultivated varieties. The typical common carp has a large body and barbels on either side of the upper mouth. They can range in hue from brassy green or yellow to golden brown or even silvery on their bodies. Typically, their belly is yellowish white. These fish have 17 to 21 rays on their dorsal fin. The spine of the dorsal and anal fins is both heavily toothed.

Most environmental circumstances can normally be tolerated by common carp fish. They often favor large areas with slow-moving or still water as well as soft, vegetal substrates. They thrive between 3 and 35 degrees Celsius. However, the optimal range is between 23 and 30 °C. Even in a pond that has frozen over, common carp fish are able to live quite comfortably (if some free water remains below the ice). They can also stand very little oxygen. They breathe air at the surface to stay alive in such bodies of water.

Although the female common carp fish can produce a lot of eggs each year, their population does not change. In the habitat of stagnant water, bacteria, fungi, and a large array of small predators frequently cause the eggs and fry to perish. These fish are produced both as sport fish and primarily for human consumption. Review the chart below to see the full breed profile of the Common carp fish.
