Goliath Tiger Fish
 

Saw an earlier pic asking for an ID on the species. This is a different pic
of the same fish, a Goliath Tiger Fish which obviously gets way bigger than
it's cousin, the African Tiger fish. It was caught in the DRC on the Kwango
river.

Looks like a silver carp with an attitude!

It certainly does.
But look behind the dorsal fin.....an adipose fin.
This creature is not a loathsome carp, but may
be closer to the trout we worship.
