Took the grandkids out for carp Sunday. We caught a few that had very elongated curtain like red-orange fins and tail. Is this a specific variety of carp or a crossbreed of some sort.

Best of you had a pic. Were you able to scare anything up on Google that may look like what you caught ?

butterfly koi / dragon carp

fyi they are all the same species so interbreeding could produce anything in between a butterfly koi and a regular carp too
