Its true. I liked rubbing them and giving them nice food. Don't really do it much anymore but whenever I'm in Czechia for Christmas we still do it. The purpose of the bathtub is to make the water as clean as possible each day in time for Christmas because the carp are in muddy rivers. So the goal is to give them a very clean environment and feed it well which enhances the taste.
The whole thing is to like, get your kids to care for it and give it its best life before you eat it. Kinda fucked but yeah lmao. I'm pretty sure the Poles and Slovaks do it too.
