Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Show off your catch Is this an Israeli Carp?

I was going to say Mirror Carp, but it also could be an Israeli.

To control weeds, look into Triploid White Amur or Triploid Grass Carp. (same fish)

Make sure that they are certified Triploid by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The certification process is as follows:

Each fish is blood tested and the chromosomes are checked to verify each fish is a true Triploid. The fish are put in 5,000 fish lots. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service pulls "X" number of fish from that lot and tests those fish again for triploid chromosomes. If any fail, the whole lot is rejected and each fish has to be re-tested.

Triploid Grass Carp will do a better job of eating underwater weeds and will not reproduce.
