Very nice! I think those are also called mirror carp. Only a few big scales on them. They aren't that common, and I've only caught 3 out of hundreds of carp. Good job!

I'm not sure I would call that pretty...LOL I guess some would though. In any event, nice mixed bag brother.

This is a mirror koi. Carp, koi and goldfish can all breed with each other and you get some cool looking hybrids like this. Awesome catch and beautiful fish!

It doesn't have herpes, it has orange blotches because it's part koi and weird looking scales because it's part mirror carp. Looks like a white and orange koi spawned with a linear mirror.
