The baby carp in the Wild Carp Trust’s rearing facility are continuing to grow, now being 1-2 inches long.
These are the fish grown from eggs collected from Pant y Llyn in June.
Heritage carp grown from eggs spawned in the wild, collected by the Wild Carp Trust.
Already the carp have the characteristic slender look of wildies.
Note the big carp at the back. We named this ‘Big Bertha’ as it grew quickly by eating other eggs and newly hatched fry.
We like the way that Ben photographs these fish in a beer glass, as though we’re always raising a toast to their success.
