👉 Metrioidea is a class of fish that includes the common carp, which is a type of carp found in lakes and rivers around the world. These fish are known for their long, slender bodies with large eyes and a unique pair of "metria" (the tips of the fins) on each side of their heads. They are also classified as epifaunal, meaning they feed on planktonic animals such as small fish and crustaceans, rather than terrestrial animals like mammals or birds
