I caught this fish when i was carp fishing once. I thought it might be a goldfish but they don't get this big. It doesn't look like a koi either. Any ideas??

Could simply be a hybrid from a released goldfish.

Yes, goldfish and crucian carp hybridise quite readily.

That one looks pure goldfish to me though.
 
How interesting. It's a very pretty fish. :oops:
My dad used to fish for carp when he was a kid, and has said before that occasionally they would catch a really nice orange one. In saying that, it looks very goldfish-like to me.

Goldfish are carp :)
 
What it makes you realise is how sad it is when people say "oh my goldfish did really well, it got to 3 inches and lived 5 years" Just shows what they are supposed to be like - we don't even reconise it as a goldfish :(
