Types of Fish in the Pond

This is a Grass Carp. The grass carp is actually one of the largest members of the minnow family. The back of the grass carp is silvery to dark grey, and the sides of the body are lighter with a slightly golden sheen. The belly is silvery white. Fins are generally greenish-grey. The fish has relatively large scales. Teeth have been replaced by specialized structures called pharyngeal teeth located in the back of the throat. These are used for tearing and grinding plant matter.

This is a Bream. (Abramis brama), common European food and game fish of the carp family, Cyprinidae, found in lakes and slow rivers. The bream lives in schools and eats worms, mollusks, and other small animals. It is deep bodied, with flat sides and a small head, and is silvery with a bluish or brown back.

These are some of the many species that have to be either released or relocated to the new pond. We need to move them during the expansion of the pond. This task will need great effort and it will be expensive. They're doing all they can to save the marine animals though! - Samantha S.
