What kind of fish is this?

[Andre Bentkov]

Someone is claiming that they have caught Crucian(Prussian) carp also known as Carassius somewhere near St. Catherines. I can't seem to find any information on this specie in Ontario or in Canada. To me it looks somewhat like freshwater drum but i do see few differences.

Looks like a carp to me, different than the common carp I catch. I googled Prussian carp and images of his fish came up. His description should be accurate.

Sorry man but those really do look like common carp to me. It must of been a goof up happens often. Carp can be all sorts of colors some bright orange and others dark black, thats all it is i think.
