The goldfish in the carp family give us the first impression of 'vibrant colors'. They are sturdy and easy to raise, with a wide distribution area, not many in number, and are highly attractive. Even the Chinese carp belonging to the carp family also invaded China. However, this invasion was relatively unsuccessful. The flesh of the tilapia is tender, and it doesn't have many spikes, and the consequences of being caught are only to be buried alive or eaten. However, thanks to their ability to reproduce quickly, they have not been driven away and are now artificially farmed tilapia. Returning to the topic, today we are going to introduce a type of carp in the carp family, which is characterized by its 'mud-eating' habit.
Yes, mud-eating carp. Mud-eating carp is not a biological name, but a collective term for many carp species with the ability to clean the substrate. This includes Blood Cloak, Swinee Cloak, White Cloak, and countless other breeds. Here, let's clarify that mud-eating carp doesn't simply eat soil (including substrate), you'll find that mud-eating carp swallows substrate and then expels it from its gills. This process is for filtering organic matter, food debris, and other unusable debris. They then excrete the remaining substrate and other inedible impurities through their gills. However, how they manage to only excrete substrate and not food, I really don't know. This is their own ability.
