Depends on the definition of "carp". Your garden variety pond minnow is of family Cyprinidae, which is the family of carp. So you could say it was born a carp. On the other hand, there are over 2000 species within Cyprinidae. Some are called "carp", some are called "minnows", and one does not become the other.
