===Habitat===
Although tolerant of most conditions, common carp prefer large bodies of slow or standing water and soft, vegetative sediments. As schooling fish, they prefer to be in groups of five or more. They naturally live in [[temperate]] climates in [[Fresh water|fresh]] or slightly [[brackish]] water with a [[pH]] of 6.5–9.0 and salinity up to about 0.5%,<ref name=fao>[[Food and Agriculture Organization]] Fisheries & Aquaculture: [http://www.fao.org/fishery/culturedspecies/Cyprinus_carpio/en Cultured Aquatic Species Information Programme – ''Cyprinus carpio'']</ref> and temperatures of {{convert|3|to(-)|35|C|F|abbr=on}}.<ref name=fishbase/> The ideal temperature is {{convert|23|to(-)|30|C|F|abbr=on}}, with spawning beginning at {{convert|17|to(-)|18|C|F|abbr=on}}; they easily survive winter in a frozen-over pond, as long as some free water remains below the ice.<ref name=fao/> Carp are able to tolerate water with very low oxygen levels, by gulping air at the surface.<ref name=arkive/><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://badangling.com/coarse-fish-species/carp/|title=Carp|work=BadAngling|access-date=2018-07-06|language=en-US}}</ref>
