That's not a carp, it is a forgotten beast twisted into the shape of a fish, that tricked that human into worshiping it.

Looks like a weeks worth of breakfast, lunch and dinner for a small African tribe to me.

My question is why dont they eat those. Free & natural food jumping into the pot themselves. If the gorv give every hobo a net they'd get back to extinct status in no time.

Lovely, but that's a goldfish.

Goldfish
Quote from: Wikipedia
A relatively small member of the carp family (which also includes the koi carp and the crucian carp), the goldfish is a domesticated version of a less-colorful carp (Carassius auratus) native to east Asia. It was first domesticated in China more than a thousand years ago, and several distinct breeds have since been developed. Goldfish breeds vary greatly in size, body shape, fin configuration and coloration (various combinations of white, yellow, orange, red, brown, and black are known).

Heh. There's this old russian folk tale of an old man and the goldfish, in which the (magical) goldfish grants wishes to the old man in exchange for letting her live.

I guess if he caught this goldfish, he'd grant it a wish in exchange for letting him live.

Also, I shall now proceed to mod in giant goldfish as a caste of carp.

Okay, but since I'm so stubborn, I'm going to point out that although it may very well a member of the carp family, it is not called a carp. It is called a goldfish.

Oh wow, a new "carp in real life" picture. I bet it'll be three months before this gets reposted as new.

Hey, he's happy with it, it amused some of us. He didn't insult or disrespect anyone, he shared something he found amusing with us and it wasn't something that was obviously a "repost"

I refuse your sarcasm and substitute it with my own.

I'm surprised there's not a sticky thread for all carp related images yet.
