Donating to the museum[edit]

InAnimal Crossing[edit]

When a crucian carp is donated,Blathers will say this:

"Even run-of-the-mill, common fish are valuable resources, you see. All part of the grand tapestry, wot! We will take excellent care of this fellow, oh yes. You can rest assured. Excellent care, indeed."

InWild World[edit]

When a crucian carp is donated, Blathers will say this:

"When I hear crucian carp, I think to myself... Taco! Indeed, FISH taco, wot wot! I suppose this might be an odd choice of fish for such a dish, but... I say, by any chance, would you like to try it out and get back to me?"

InCity Folk[edit]

When a crucian carp is donated, Blathers will say this:

"The largest difference between a crucian carp and a carp is the former's lack of whiskers, wot? Compared to the regally whiskered Carp, there's something almost common about the Crucian variety!"

InNew Leaf[edit]

An information board in the aquarium will display this description of the crucian carp upon donation:

"Crucian carp are fairly easy fish for beginners to catch, but they're also popular with veteran anglers. They are related to koi and can live up to 15 years, making them a great fish to keep in a pond. Male offspring are seldom born, so females significantly outnumber males, making populations suffer. Luckily, females can reproduce with males of some other species, so the problem is relatively temporary."

InNew Horizons[edit]

When donating to Blathers or selecting "Tell me about this!" inNew Horizons, he will provide the following information about the fish:

"I wonder... Do you know how to tell the difference between a crucian carp and a standard-issue carp? It's quite easy to tell the two apart... One must simply locate the barbels. Or, rather, the lack of them! And just what is a barbel, you ask? Well, a barbel looks a little something like a mustache. A run-of-the-mill carp will sport this unsightly "facial hair," while a crucian carp is considerably better groomed! I tried to grow a mustache when I was younger. It never did fill in quite right... All for the best in the end, as mustaches go so much better with noses than with beaks!"

Fishing Tourney[edit]

During aFishing Tourney, when given a crucian carp,Chip will say the following dialogue.

InCity Folk[edit]

"Crucian carp make amazing sushi! It's the stench that brings the flavor out! Nyuuuk nyuk nyuk nyuk!"

InNew Leaf[edit]

"Hey, you know what? Crucian carps are rather fantastic in a sweet stew. But I'm not picky. I'll just eat 'em raw if that's all there is! YUM YUM!"

Real-world information[edit]

A real crucian carp

Carassius carassius is a freshwater fish of theCyprinidae family, and is the type species to the mainCarassius genus of carps, in which other carps are often also referred to as "crucian carps." It is spread through the north of Europe and is thought to be heavily farmed.Carassius carassius are commonly used as food in various European regions, particularly in Slavic cuisine. This fish is not under threat.

Crucian carp are also kept as pets in bigger aquariums and water gardens, but are not as common to obtain commercially as other attractive fish, such as thekoi and thegoldfish.Some sources even state that the goldfish (Carassius auratus) could be a cultivated breed of crucian carp taken from the wild, and these two fish have been successfully bred in lab conditions, leading to an enhanced hybrid between the two but with most being sterile.

Its name derives from the Low German karusse or karutze, possibly from Medieval Latin "coracinus," which means "a kind of river fish." In Japanese, "funa" (フナ) refers to both the fish and the genus.More information on this topic is available atWikipedia.
