The difference between white chub and chub is as follows:

1. From the living environment, the white chub inhabits the upper layer of the waters and feeds on phytoplankton such as diatoms and green algae. Chub inhabits the middle and upper layers of the waters, feeding on zooplankton such as daphnia.

2, from the size of the head, chub and silver carp head are very large, but the chub's head is more bigger, can account for 1/2 of the body or even more, so the chub is also known as the "big head fish" or "fat head fish".

3, from the fish body scale color, chub body is black spots, while the chub is all white scales, no black spots, this is easier to distinguish.

Chub

The chub is also called the white chub. It is active in the upper layer of the water and eats phytoplankton such as green algae; bighead carp has a larger head and is commonly known as the "fathead fish", also known as the silver carp. The bighead carp inhabits the middle and upper layers of the water, eating protozoa, daphnia and other zooplankton; the grass carp lives in the middle and lower layers of the water, swallowing the vegetation in the water and then discharging it, and then eating the feces again after it has become a breeding ground for microorganisms, filtering the microorganisms in it.

The cyprinids inhabit the bottom layer of the water and eat mollusks such as snails, clams and mussels; mixing these four species improves bait utilization and increases fish production.
