TOPIC: Wild Goldies or Prussian Carp?

Wild Goldies or Prussian Carp? 1 year, 5 months ago #116368

I caught these earlier on in the year, wondering if they are definately wild goldfish or Prussian Carp. Hopefully the pics are decent for identifying the fish. I look forward to everyone's opinion.

All acrp Ive caught apart from the obviously gold ones have shown some variation in darkness of color from fish to fish.

It seems the more chunky ones ( pic2 ) are the ones that end up becoming a proper gold colour

All the above fish caught had no barbels.

Re:Wild Goldies or Prussian Carp? 1 year, 5 months ago #116383

they do look like goldies spoggy but if you read up on Prussian Carp they are quite similar. The first pic might be one.

Iam no expert on this matter, but do Crucian carp exist here ?
They have no barbels, and if counting the scales along the laterial line between the gills and root of the tail, there should be between 28-33 scales.
Just a thought.

crucian carp are not found in australia, those fish are wild goldies, but the top one looks like a hybrid of a goldie and a common carp
