We call the Schleie the Tench in England. There is also a cultivated version available now that comes in the same lovely golden yellow colour as Golden Dojos,plus there's a red and white variety too. They are usually sold for ponds.
Check the link for a good pic, plus try this URL also for some nice fish paintings, Tench included.
