Ghost Carp in Real Life[]

Real Ghost Carp

The real life fish

The ghost carp is a hybrid between a common (or mirror) carp and a koi carp. Most commonly, conventional carp are cross-bred with Ogon koi.

These koi are commonly whitish, metallic, or greyish in color, which explains the color variations of the ghost carp.

It is these colors that also explain the name “ghost carp”, along with its other, very distinctive feature; the metallic and dark markings on its head and body.

Very often, ghost carp will have a dark or black mark, or ring, around their eyes, giving them a rather eerie and ghostly look underwater.

Their body color is also usually somewhat washed out or faded, which makes it easy to tell them apart from true koi carp and their stronger and brighter colors.

As they are the result of both common and mirror-koi breeding, there are hence also both mirror and common looking ghost carp in many venues around Great Britain.
