Carp Fish with strange/spooky face (update of July 2024)

[antonio]

Too much to be considered a simple malformation, in my modest opinión.
Only reference found, in China.
Size and behavior ist similar to ist siblings.
I am pretty curious about its further development and, who knows, procreation.
Hope this to be interesting and hope somebody knows about Otero references of similar cases .

I had seen the video from China before, now Peru. Probably this one from 2019: https://people.com/pets/spooky-fish-with-human-face-video/

Nothing out of the ordinary go to any second grade or domestic breeder and you'll find 2 dozen every day

Another update...the last I swear

Well, I am toying with a pond extension (incl. waterfall) project and currently looking in all possible places for reference ideas.

Look what I found in a japanese koi garden pond today (

):

A bunch of these "rare" "human/face" guys swimming among their "more known" nice koi companions. I couldnt believe it, these guys not that rare ! and now I am very curious about the formal name of this guys !

Mein is an spontaneous birth from the natural reserve near by carp fish...

Just a general information for koi freinds.
