This #month’s topic is brought to you by @HiroyukiTakisawa , and what a fun topic this is going to be for the month of January!

Carp are resilient, aggressive, and strong freshwater fish. They can survive in the most polluted rivers and demanding ecosystems throughout the world. In the U.S.A., where I am from, we Americans regard the carp as the Queen of the River and a favorite amongst fish anglers in North America, just for the pure joy of fishing. Carp can by fed these cones without the ice cream of course. They provide them for guest to feed the carps.

The spotted carp are the most prized all over the world and is actually a natural mutation. Real carp is not as beautiful as its spotted cousin, but rather ordinary looking. Some can weigh up to 50 kg! Prized carp is only handled by hand, not netting. All carp are picked up and moved by human hands and rarely fight when being handled in this way. Thousands of carp are handled by hand yearly when being moved between ponds for selection and breeding.

This museum is an excellent place for family, friends, couples, and photographers. The indoor aquarium is a breeding area. Carp are kept here for a few more months until they reach the desired size of the breeder. As for the names of these fish, there are over 16 different kinds of carp!
