1. mirror carp

   A mirror carp is a type of domesticated, ornamental carp, commonly found in European countries, particularly Germany and France. Named for its large, irregularly shaped mirror-like scales, the mirror carp is a variation of the common carp. It can grow quite large and is often kept in ponds or fished for sport. While primarily silver, it also ranges in color from gold to dark brown. Its original purpose of breeding was for easier descaling and more edible flesh.

1. Mirror carp

   Mirror carp are a type of fish, commonly found in the United Kingdom and Europe. The name "Mirror Carp" originates from their scales' resemblance to mirrors. They can grow in excess of 60lb - the last few British record fish have all been mirror carp. The difference between mirror and common carp is both genetic and visual - biologically they are similar. The mirror carp was the first mutation of common carp, owing to two alternative genes, the S allele and the N allele. The genetic term for a mirror carp is "ssnn". Common carp have an even, regular scale pattern, whereas mirrors have irregular and patchy scaling, making many fish unique and possible to identify individual fish by sight, leading to most carp in the UK over 40 lb being nicknamed. This lack of scales is widely believed to have been bred in by monks in order to make the fish easier to prepare for the table. The current British record is a carp known as 'Two tone' due to its colouration, caught from Conningbrook Lake in Kent and weighing in at 67 lb 14oz.'Two Tone' was found dead in his lake on August 14, 2010. The current world record stands at 99lb, caught from Luke Moffat's Les Graviers near to Dijon in France.
