What is Carp?
A '''carp''' (plural: carp or carps) is a [[fish]] that lives in [[fresh water]], such as [[river]]s and [[lake]]s. In [[Europe]] and [[Asia]] carp are loved as a [[fishing]] and eating fish. However, carp are a really big problem in countries such as the U.S. and Australia. They make the water dirty by causing the mud at the bottom to move and in these countries people hate them. Some popular [[ornament]]al fishes like the [[koi]] and [[goldfish]] are also carp. == Types of carp == [[File:Urfacarp.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Carp swarm in great numbers to eat feed thrown by tourists in [[Urfa]], [[Turkey]].]] * Genus ''[[Abramis]]'' ** [[Carp bream]] (''Abramis brama'') * Genus ''[[Barbodes]]'': ** [[Carnatic carp]] (''Barbodes carnaticus'') * Genus ''[[Carassius]]'': ** [[Crucian carp]] (''Carassius carassius '') ** [[Prussian carp]] (''Carassius gibelio'') ** [[Goldfish]] (''Carassius auratus'') * Genus ''[[Cirrhinus]]'': ** [[Chinese mud carp]] (''Cirrhinus chinensis'') ** [[Deccan white carp]] (''Cirrhinus fulungee'') ** [[Hora white carp]] (''Cirrhinus macrops'') ** [[Small scale mud carp]] (''Cirrhinus microlepis'') ** [[Mud carp]] (''Cirrhinus molitorella'') ** [[Man carp]] (''Cirrhinus saprian'') * Genus ''[[Ctenopharyngodon]]'': ** [[Grass carp]] (''Ctenopharyngodon idellus'') * Genus ''[[Culter]]'': ** [[Predatory carp]] (''Culter erythropterus'') * Genus ''[[Cyprinus]]'': ** [[Common carp]], [[Koi]] (''Cyprinus carpio'') * Genus ''[[Epalzeorhynchos]]'': ** [[Red-tailed black shark]] (''Epalzeorhynchos bicolor'') ** [[Red-finned black shark]] or [[Rainbow shark]] (''Epalzeorhynchos frenatus'') * Genus ''[[Henicorhynchus]]'': ** [[Siamese mud carp]] (''Henicorhynchus siamensis'') * Genus ''[[Hypophthalmichthys]]'': ** [[Bighead carp]] (''Hypophthalmichthys nobilis'') ** [[Silver carp]] (''Hypophthalmichthys molitrix'') * Genus ''[[Labeo (carp)|Labeo]]'': ** [[African carp]] (''Labeo coubie'') ** [[Fringed-lipped peninsula carp]] (''Labeo fimbriatus'') ** [[Bigmouth carp]] (''Labeo kontius'') * Genus ''[[Myl
