for species its just a domesticated carp (Cyprinus carpio) in the same way house cats are Felis catus and dogs Canis familiaris, its the variety your after i believe and that may well be Kohaku, but after 5 mins the image has not loaded due to cost saving sat connection being woeful even when the beach is in eye sight, but roaming charges of £2mb mean im not coming off the ships net
