Solution
The correct option is B P is Catla and Q is grass carp
Fish that are known as surface feeders all have a back that is perfectly straight, this allows for their upturned mouths to easily get right on the surface and scoop up the food, in their natural habitat they would do this to eat insects on the surface of the water.
Catla is a surface feeder. In the fish pond, grass carp live in the middle layer of water and feed on grass.
