An “extremely rare strain of carp,” a 13-pound mirror carp nicknamed tiger carp for its unique stripes, was the object of a bidding war recently among Britain fisheries, all vying to become the owner of the fish that is believed to be the first of its kind in the U.K.

Renowned fish farmer Mark Simmonds of Heather Fisheries advertised the sale of the tiger carp, and the online bidding opened at $685 USD, according to the Angling Times of the U.K.

Linda Candy, a co-owner of the Todber Manor Fisheries, submitted the winning bid of $3,425 USD. She was said to have purchased the fish as a surprise to her husband John.
