drewpear Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Help With Fish Identification i have a pond i stocked with goldfish. in the spring before i did, there were two dark fish in the pond. i believe they came in on some duckweed from a nearby pond the year before. can anyone id them for me? the picture is enhanced color and inaccurate. the video is more accurate. thank you 1 of 2 fish2.mp4
Divemaster Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Video won't work for me, but that grey fish just looks like a wild coloration Goldfish (yep, a naturally colored Eurasian GOLDfish isn't gold lol).
gmfishon Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 video won't work for me either. I agree on the goldfish thing though. I didn't know some were not gold but if you look at the eyes, shape and body lines and dimensions of the two, they are spot on.
drewpear Posted April 6, 2017 Author Posted April 6, 2017 sorry about the poor pic and bad link. i hope this link to a youtube video works better. still not a very good example to ask for id. the thing is, there is a small pond next to the one in the video that used to be a duck wadding pond. before i ever put fish into the system, the two larger dark fish showed up in the spring. likely from some duckweed i grabbed from a nearby pond the summer before. maybe they are carp? https://youtu.be/FwtPlk6_e78
