They are these big orange fish that are known as "bottom feeders". They glide along the bottom of rivers and ponds, with their fish lips vacuuming up all the filth they can find.
There is not a lot of sport in catching them. They will bite on anything. They are big and sluggish.
Some people have been known to eat them. However, they have a mud streak down their sides, which has to be cleaned away, before they are edible. But, there are some folks who will eat just about anything.
They like to show off. Sometimes they will come to the top of the water just to let the sunlight reflect off their shiny orange scales.
The moral of the story is that you can put a big fish on the dining table, if you don't mind the mud.
