Episode 84: Are my carp male or female?

In this week’s episode I take a look at my carp, and following the numerous sources of advice that are available, try to decide what sex each of them are. I’d love to know your thoughts, please share in the comments section.
I’d like to thank pijnacker01 for letting me use clips from their video, the full version of which you can find here: • Carp Spawning 2020
Other photos are from Adobe Free Stock, except for the photo of mixed-sex koi in a tub, which I couldn’t track the original owner, if it’s yours, or you know who’s it is, please let me know and I’ll add credit.
Please take a look at the Database Project:

Great video as per usual!

[@pijnacker01]

Nice video, thank you!

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

Good info.. I still find it hard unless I see them do the chase or in the case male goldfish get the pimple like bumps on head . I used to think the thicker but that is not always the case . It comes down to a educated guess as far as I can say

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

I would say the common carp is a female judging by the pectoral fins. The others not sure as they weren't swimming about.
