What's up with this common

[mrmud]

Anyone know what's up with this common.

It was rough from its head right down to it's tail. I know they're face gets rough during spawning but this was all over and ain't the water still to cold for spawning.

The scales also felt bumpy like a pineapple.

Looks like a f1 Carp their sterile but still go through the spawning process, could pass on the info to a bailiff or the owner

Don't think it was F1 as it had both sets of barbels.

I thought spawning just made them have nodules on they're head n pectoral fin but not all over 🤷🏽‍♂️.

I did pass the info onto the owner with pics but they don't know alot about fish

Spawning tubercles are usually all over not just the head

”During the spring, they frequently develop spawning tubercles over their gill plates, along their flanks and on their fins. Spawning tubercles have the appearance of grains of sand on the fishes' bodies and can give them a slightly rough feel if rubbed gently. “
