There are many friends who like to fish now, but I find that many anglers are very keen to study various fishing techniques and bait recipes, but few people take the time to understand and distinguish the types of fish. Therefore, these anglers often make some funny jokes, such as catching turtles and saying that they are turtles in the circle of friends, and crucian carp that are carp. So I sorted out some information about the fish species that are often caught, and talked to you about some of the more difficult to distinguish fish species, hoping to help you a little.
The last post introduced the difference between white stripe and blue knife fish, received a lot of attention from anglers, and some anglers left messages hoping that I would introduce a fish about mud carp, which is difficult to distinguish, so now we will understand the knowledge of mud carp.
