One of the carp I caught yesterday I suspect is a ghost carp and I've looked on the net for other pictures and it is similar to some of them, especially the red colouring of some of it's fins. What do you guys think?

To me mate, just looks like a common.

Ghosties have black around the eyes, and to me that just looks like the normal shading of a common.

are you sure it aint a fully scaled mirror?

That's cool mate, just wanted to check, as I'm not what you'd consider a carp expert, thanks Dan

Could be a Gibble. (A what?) Crucian Cross Common!
This does depend on its size though. They have limited growth!
Iam not making this up!!!
