Default Fish ID help

Found hundreds of these fish in our pasture after an oxbow lake flooded across it into the little red deer river. Can anyone help identify them? Carp, suckers, gold/moon eye?

Definitely Prussian Carp. Have been catching and destroying them.

That's what I suspected. Unfortunately there are now thousands more of the buggers in the little red after that oxbow lake overflowed. Silver lining is I now have a good bow-fishing pond
