Dunno if I got the right newsgroup here but it's the only 'pond' one I
could find. I have a farm pond, around 10 years ago my father stocked
several white amur and israeli carp for weed control. We really didn't
have a bad weed problem in the first place, my Pop succumbed to slick
talking 'fish' saleman. The carp eat the fishfood I put out for my
bream/sunfish. How many more years can I expect these fish to live? Any
input appreciated...

well I will try to answer Koi which are a carp have been known to
live ~200 yrs in japan but the average I believe with good care is
around 60-70 in your pond probably 20 or so I would guess

someone correct me if Im wrong here
