GG,
If you want to have a tank with carp in them then go for it. BUT afaik there are no hatcheries in the US that raise carp for the same reason that state and private hatcheries raise other game fish for. As I have pointed out Carp have NO problems at all establishing themselves and maintaining thier populations. If you want a 4-6" carp then go fishing for them.

"american government was stupid for introducing them....." thats rubbish you dont know how we works in America. Actually its not government's fault, its PEOPLE's fault for import the carp into the waters for 100 years. No one knows that the carp will destory the native system in 1900's.
Most grass carps that are introduced nowadays to combate the weed problems of a lake are unable to breed. And I've personally been to lakes that post that it is unlawful to keep a grass carp in your creel. This has been in Missouri and in Kentucky. These lakes were fairly small and self contained and very heavily weeded. The other fish in the lake seemed to be doing quite well so if an un-native species is introduced nowadays with the proper percautions and foward thinking then it shouldnt damange any waterways.
