How to Tell a Carp From a Sucker Fish
- 1). Compare the size of the two fish. Carp grow longer and wider then sucker fish.
- 2). Look at the mouths of the two fish. Carp have whiskers along the side of its mouth while sucker fish have none.
- 3). Refer to the location the fish was caught. Sucker fish are native to the waters of southwest Georgia. If the fish was caught in that area it is likely a sucker fish and not a carp.
