Ghost Carp are a cross between a common or mirror carp and a koi carp. This genetic mix gives them their trademark metallic sheen, often white, silver, pale gold or even platinum, sometimes with darker patches along the back or head. No two ghost carp are the same — some have bold contrasts, others are subtle and almost translucent under the water. They grow as big and behave like normal Common Carp. They were first bred in ornamental ponds but over time they found their way into angling lakes and thrived. They are often stocked alongside mirrors and commons, and fit right in.
