TAKE A LOOK AT MY OTHER VIDEOS www.fischbottich.de [Carassius gibelio] +++ Prussian Carp in a 200liters freshwatertank, with european freshwater fish. All of these fish grow up fast and become very big. That's why I just keep juvenile fish, which move into my pond after ca. two years (depending on their size). Da heimische (Kaltwasser-) Fische schnell wachsen und meistens auch sehr groß werden, kann man sie nur als Jungfische im Aquarium halten. Alle meine Fische sind noch klein und werden, abhängig von ihrer Größe, nach ca. zwei Jahren in den Teich ungesetzt. +++ The population of this 200 liter (53 gallon) tank: Stone loach / Bachschmerlen (Barbatula barbatula) Rudd / Rotfedern (Scardinius erythrophthalmus) European or Mirror carp / Spiegelkarpfen (Cyprinus carpio) Tench / Schleie (Tinca tinca) European Chub / Döbel auch Alet, Aitel oder Eite (Leuciscus cephalus) Gudgeon / Gründling (Gobio gobio) Barbel / Flussbarbe (Barbus barbus) Crucian carp / Karausche (Carassius carassius)

Prussian carp are the original wild carp? i heard that from someone... not sure if it's true!
ReplyDeletesome of them turn gold and that is how we get goldfish
ReplyDeleteMaybe he's mad at me!?
ReplyDeleteI'd ask for them in angler stores, that's the best chance to get some.
ReplyDeletewhere can i get one?East Germany or Poland?
ReplyDeleteYes, he would. He only thinks about what he could eat next.
ReplyDeleteFirst, they look boring, but they are very funny and cool.
ReplyDeleteDam i love Prussian Carp :))
ReplyDeletetypical carp!he would ate the whole aquarium,
ReplyDeleteonly if he could! heheh! nice fish.I never heard for a prussian carp
The sperm comes from other male carps, but it only starts the cleavage of cells. It does not penetrate the eggs, so there's just the dna of the mother. But this applies just for a female prussian carp and other (non-prussian) male carps. The reproduce of a male prussian carp and a female prussian carp is like all other fish.
ReplyDeleteI got to read up on gynogenesis. You are saying the Prussian carp can reproduce with other carp types but the sperm does not come from that male?
ReplyDeleteSo the juvenile prussian carps are genetically identic and clones of their mother (but of course there also exists a "real" reproduce with male prussian carps; the gynogenesis is just an alternative). That's why some populations in europe (they're not endemic) only consist of female prussian carps (and also have been started by just one female prussian carp).
ReplyDeleteThe size is ~12cm (I'm not exactly sure, the video was taken some month before and the fish is now living in my pond).
ReplyDeleteBut I don't think it's a male. Prussian carps are able to reproduce from unfertilizted eggs, what is called gynogenesis.
So a female prussian carp can start to reproduce with other (male) fish of the carp family/cyprinids, but the eggs don't get fertilized by them.
Yes, it's always looking for something to eat on the ground, like all carps do.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The small fish is a juvenile gudgeon.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the size on him ( I guess its male)
ReplyDeleteLove the plants! What is the small fish at 2:10 in the video?
