What fish is it ?

[aussie-revhead]

Hi guys , I caught two fish today and was told by a fellow that looked far more professional than myself that they were not carp as I thought but were a goldfish of sorts as bred by koi carp breeders and that it has to die the death of a carp . This fish looked similar to a carp but was taller like a bass and didnt have the whisker-like things near its mouth . I will try to find a pic and will post it if I find one . Can you guys tell me what fish it was and if it had to be killed like a carp , or could I have released it ?

The gentleman in question said it was a goldfish , but I found a pic of Koi(left) and goldfish and it looks like a Koi .... check the pics. Does that mean I should have kept them ( but too big for my tank ) ?

Thanks .
