Carp was used because it can be bought live-hence it's habitat in the
bathtub.  In the 'olden times' a piece of bread soaked in alcohol was
placed in the mouth of fish in order to ensure freshness.  This was a
problem on Pesach.  Villages close to the fi****ng centers used live
carp, while others refrained from fish throughout Pesach.
