The 'goldfish' that shot to fame in 2022 after going viral online and in the news for its gigantic size has, unfortunately, passed away this week from natural causes. The mirror carp, which resided in Bluewater Lakes in France, reached an enormous 67 lbs at its peak and became famous after people mistook it for a goldfish.

The fish made many anglers' dreams come true as it became a target for so many fishing in the lake, with many only visiting the venue to try and catch the famous carp.

There is some good news, however, as the fish successfully spawned and has two babies that are healthy and growing, with the venue hopeful that these fish may even surpass their mother in terms of weight. One of them is a mirror carp, and the other is a common carp, both already weighing around 40 lbs.

“It is with great sadness that we have to report and announce the death of The Carrot,” the venue announced.

“To know it’s gone has broken our soul, and we never want to see any of our stock pass, especially The Carrot.

“But for every minus, there is a plus, as she has two little babies in here—one's a common carp weighing around 40 lbs, and the other is a little gem that’s a tad smaller but has all the beauty of its predecessor.

“Once again, it’s a sad day, and we hope all who caught The Carrot cherish that moment. It was a very special fish,” they concluded.
