Descripción de la especie
From the waters of China & Eurasia comes Cyprinus carpio, a member of the family Cyprinidae. A adaptable species that forgives beginner mistakes more readily than most. It uses the whole water column. Adults reach 96.8–141.9 cm. Keep in a group of 4–6 for natural behaviour. Give it clean water and room to behave naturally, and it will largely care for itself. Maintain 9.4–28.6 °C at pH 6.5–9. A solid choice for a well-planned community tank.
