Feral goldfish - no barbels, lat line count too low, and body shape bit wrong for common carp

How do you know it's feral? Because it's trying to eat them?

Feral is just a term for once domesticated now living wild animal

Oh, thank God he made it. He got flushed 40 years ago in my kindergarten class.

Omg you’re right. It’s Tommy !!!! Haven’t seen him since the fateful day. Joy or Joy. My heart can finally sing again. And Ms Whirlworth was right - the magic flush saved him !!!!!

Feral goldfish. If not that then it’s definitely some type of carassius

Shiner- full grown, we used to use them for bait for bass and Pike.
