mirror's are part of the common carp family. Here is the world record with a photo.
The common carp world record has fallen again. This time to German angler Emir Caro. The 84lb 12oz (38.45Kg) monster has been a long term target for Emir who has been after it for 3 years.
Hard to say how large since they are capable of great weights and lengths.

Mirror carp are a variety of common carp, so somewhere over 3 feet and something over 60 lbs. No telling how big they can get given time.

in the US mirror carp are a rarer species because they seem to grow slower than common sliver or bighead
but as said 80lbs sounds allright for large lakes like say lake Murry

Current U.K. record is just shy of 60lb that's about 4ft long and about 18" to 24" deep, however, I know ppl who've caught fish over 80lb from some of the large European lakes like Lake Caserne in Spain. they're not really an aquarium fish, however, they do produce the usual chemicals that cause the fish to stop growing once there's not enough room, but beware you still need to do water changes which means you dilute the chemical.
