A quote from Practical Fishkeeping, August 2002:

"Grass Carp

To 60cm/36" and counting...

Skittish, neurotic, frequently jumps out and ultra-sensitive to
medication, especially potassium permanganate, which lowers water's
oxygen content. Oh, and they won't eat blanketweed, only your choicest
pond plants. Avoid."

That's what they think about it :-)

It was made illegal to sell in England and Wales in 1998 but you didn't
need a licence to keep it. Some changes were made to the legislation
and Scotland were about to bring their legislation into line with the
rest of the UK last year. I don't know what the changes were though but
you may be able to find out if they affect you at
