Nope not a Charciforme - Predatory Cyprinidae - Elopichthyus Bambusa " Yellowcrek Carp" - $23 is a steal but he looks malnourished.

That's a very good deal, they get huge though.

That is indeed a steal. They are 200$ around here.

Yup - "Yellow Cheek Carp" (typo) they have a large hook on their lower jaw and numerous small sharp teeth, can easily grow over 4ft in the wild.
