I would call the fish in the picture an Israeli. Israeli are not sterile and readily reproduce in similar fashion as common carp - broadcasting sticky eggs. The book Fishes of Arkansas says the Israeli carp most closely resembles the mirror carp. The authors of the book recognize four forms of carp; common, mirror, leather, and Israeli.
