Buffalo fish and carp are both Freshwater Fish, but they belong to different families and have distinct characteristics. Buffalo fish, belonging to the Ictiobus genus, generally have a more robust body and a larger mouth, often feeding on plankton and detritus. Carp, on the other hand, are part of the Cyprinidae family and are known for their more streamlined body and varied diet, which can include plant matter and small invertebrates. Additionally, buffalo fish are typically found in North American waters, while carp are widespread globally, especially in Europe and Asia.
