Grass carp are named for their herbivorous habits, but this diet isn't persistent throughout its life cycle. | During their juvenile stage, grass carp primarily feed on invertebrates. | ||
It's only when they grow to about the size of a bottle cap that they fully transition to a plant-based diet. | |||
So, don't be surprised if you see a grass carp eating meat — It might just be reminiscing about its babyhood. | |||
