Koi (Cyprinus rubrofuscus), Aug 28th, 2018

So the koi still considered a subspecies of European carp? I remember reading something saying it was now considered a domesticated variant of the Amur carp (Cyprinus rubrofuscus).
 
@TeaLovingDave @Hipporex I believe I read something about that too, but I couldn't entirely make sense of the carp taxonomy tale and got confused, then just went with what I knew previously.

That said, it would seem that Cyprinus rubrofuscus would now be the correct scientific name for the koi, so I changed it to that.
