I'm not sure, Astrid, but I think Rüssler is just an informal term for carp and not a separate variety.
"Stolze 76 lb bringt dieser dicke Rüssler auf die Waage. Das nenn ich mal einen dicken KArpfen!!"

Note from asker:
| Hi Kim! Yes, I did come across that line in the hits. You are probably right about it just being an informal word for a carp. |

This fish poster also has the longnose carp.
Unfortunately the pictures are too small to see the actual fish!
