Ariel? Is that you?

Believe it or not, this fish isn’t actually straight out of the Little Mermaid.

Alas, it’s just a normal fish – except that it has a human face.

The rare carp has distinct markings that make it look a bit like a person – and Qiu Xiaohua, who caught the fish in Wugang City in China, is hoping the fish will bring home the bacon.

Just for context, in 2010 a similar-looking fish was valued at £40,000.

Xiaohua, a school teacher, was originally planning to eat the carp. However, he decided to keep it alive in his sink after he noticed that it had a human face.

Since then dozens of visitors have popped over to admire the fish.
