Name that fish?
I acquired a pond complete with fish when I bought my house but don't
really know what they are. Can anyone tell me what these fish are? http://www.pbase.com/sparkhorse/pond_life -- Steven |

Can anyone tell me what these fish are? http://www.pbase.com/sparkhorse/pond_life The one's with the little whiskers (barbels) by their mouths are Koi. The rest will be goldfish. San Diego Joe 4,000 - 5,000 Gallons. Goldfish, a RES named Colombo and an Oscar. "We need to make a sacrifice to the pond gods, find me a young virgin... oh, and bring something to kill" |

Thanks for the help guys. What's the difference between mirror carp and
leather carp then? IMO, no difference, leather means no scales like what is on the sides of these koi. Mirror could be due to the big scales along the back that reflect light. ~ jan ~Power to the Porg, Flow On!~ |
