Thats what the chinese originally bred them for and the reason why Medievel Monks introduced them to Britain. Cheers, FM Carp are one of the few fish that aren't really stunted by being kept in small areas of water. Most fish will grow to a size that suits their environment but Carp just keep going. That's why we have Goldfish and Koi (both in the Carp family) in domestic ponds. Before refrigeration and modern transport it was the only way to have fish to eat if you lived inland. Carp were the best producers of meat in small moats and ponds in the grounds of the wealthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
