Do these fish look healthy?

[Luke]

had them in my tank to start with, then put them in my friends pond, but his pump cut out and the goldfish already in it developed ulcers allover their body, loosing scales, yellow patches, and ragged tails(probably fin rott) so i took my carp back while i thought i had the chance to save them.

right now they are in a 5' tank so should be fine until he sorts his pond.

heres a pic of them a month down the line.


i uploaded the pic of my favourite carp that got stolen too, as promiesd. (the last silver one)

also wanted to raise the question of this: i've had a mirror carp for about a year now(i bought it when i was 2inchs long) and it hasnt seem to have grown, at all... thats the only time this has happened to me with carp or any other fish.

The pictures seem a little out of focus. It's hard to tell.

the third one is a cross between a ghost carp and a mirror carp(if you dont know what a mirror carp is, its basically a common carp with less scales, in random places. its not actually a koi. might be the confusion over its scales. its belly is naturally yellow and its back is naturally dark green, like a natural carp. bought it for this specific reason.

and i cant really take a better picture as the move so fast in the water when i take the camera to them, its hard to even get them in the picture, so its a bit blurry.

a better example of a purebred mirror carp would be this: http://www.winghamwildlifepark.co.uk/UsedImages/Thickbox_mirror-carp.jpg

you can also get scaleless carp called leather carp

That 3rd photo looked like there were scales missing.
