1. How to distinguish between carp, grass carp, crucian carp and silver carp

Grass carp has a long, thin body and a pointed head. It can grow very large. Carp has whiskers and a slightly arched head. It can also grow very large. Crucian carp is similar to carp, but has no whiskers and larger scales. It has fewer arches on its head than carp. Grass carp (also known as silver carp) is a "food fish" that often lives in the middle and lower layers of water bodies. It is active and likes to forage in the upper water bodies or on the shore. It often jumps out of the water to eat grass. It is suitable for ponds with fresh water. When it is a juvenile fish, it mainly feeds on zooplankton. Fish species and adult fish ponds are artificially fed with vegetables, cabbage, oil residue, corn flour, bran, etc. However, grass carp is greedy and prone to enteritis, so the quality and quantity of feeding should be determined according to the situation.

Silver carp (also known as silver carp): It is a "fat water fish" that often lives in the upper and middle layers of water bodies. It likes to be in still water, but it is lively. It mainly feeds on zooplankton. When it is a juvenile fish, it eats zooplankton, and when it grows up, it turns to phytoplankton. It is suitable to feed soybean milk, wheat flour and fertilizer to cultivate water quality for artificial breeding.

Bighead carp (also known as silver carp): It is also a "fat water fish" and often lives in the middle and lower layers of the water, second only to the silver carp as close to the water surface. It mainly feeds on zooplankton, but also eats some phytoplankton during the adult stage. It is suitable to be fed with oil residue, wheat flour, etc. artificially, and it is also the same as silver carp in water quality cultivation.

Carp: It is an omnivorous fish. It often lives in the lower layer of water and likes to eat snails, clams, poldes, aquatic insect larvae and other animal food. It also likes to eat organic debris. Its diet is very wide, no wonder the fishermen in the south call it the "cleaner" of the pond.

Crucian carp: It is also an omnivore. It often lives in the bottom of the water body and has a wide range of food habits, but its food habits vary slightly with the seasons. Its food habits are almost similar to those of carp, but it prefers plant bait.

It has a large head and a medium-sized mouth. Its eyes are located in the lower part of the head. It lives in the middle and upper layers of the water and uses fine gill rakers to filter plankton. It has a relatively mild habit. It matures at the age of four and can be artificially bred. It grows fast and is easy to get bait. It is one of the main freshwater farmed fish in my country.
