How about roach, bream, goldfish?

I remember seeing that fish in the weekly angling press a while back. It does look really bizarre - like its not real and just a photoshopped photo.
But the truth is often stranger than fiction.

I was in contact with Angling Times about that one; far from a hybrid it was just a plain old fancy goldfish!

This one that I have a couple of prints of has never been satisfactorily identified: Some bream in there and possibly roach and rudd. Scanned from a print so not that good a pic.

That's definitely got roach in it. Mind I used to fish a pool with silver bream in it. Some books I've read suggest it doesn't exist and others say it does, but trying to determine if you'd caught a skimmer, a silver bream or a roach/ bream hybrid was next to impossible.

I catch plenty of skimmers, silver bream and roach x bream hybrids and with practice it's not too bad.

Silver bream: Common bream: Roach x bream:

This is the one that's got me stumped:

I'd go for silver bream.
