Thanks i thought it was crucian or some type of hybrid it just looked different to the other crucians i caught that day, im pretty new to fishing and getting used to identifying fish i catch.

Thanks lance

This is surely crucian carps goldfish as it have golden bronze. These are most attractive goldfish.

I'd put that one down as a brown goldfish if I caught it. There may be a little crucian in there somewhere but it's almost definitely not a true crucian.

its a hybrid! crucian/goldfish! caught a few myself & my grandad use to keep carp & goldfish in his fish pond & use to get loads of hybrids!

Whatever its lineage its a lovely fish and a nice catch for a beginner.

Well done, now go get some more.

Is it the brown goldfish that's otherwise known as a Prussian carp?

I've had one or two over the years and pretty little fellas they are...

Brown goldfish

Prussian carp, Gibel carp, Brown Goldfish...arent those all the same thing?...sometimes its better to do the latin:

The first fish looks like a crucian crossed with a goldfish = Carassius carassius x C auratus

The last one is a brown goldfish C auratus. Might even have a touch of orange coming through.

Gibel carp i think is C.auratus gibelio

brunneis
