What species ?

[Green0]

I hope the photo comes through else it will be hard for any one to give an opinion but i caught this baby from the old lake about 3 years ago. 4lb 3 oz .

There does seem some uncertainty whether it's a true crucian or possibly a brown goldfish.

It looks like a lovely Crucian carp, but i could be wrong.

That is one very nice 100% Crucian Carp, well done.

Acording to the scale count on the lateral line (which I make 31), the fin colouring, and the not very convex dorsal fin, I think it's a Goldfish or Goldfish hybrid. Still, gorgeous fish all the same!

Good article here on the differences: http://www.fishingmagic.com/news/article.asp?UAN=4929&v=1

I have seen many true crucians from the Old Lake including the 3lbs 8oz fish, I have to say your fish Green0 looks like a cross breed but a really cracking fish all the same. If you have a look at the website you will see the colour of a true crucian and it differs from your fish unfortunately.

Well done tho on a nice catch.
