Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations big goldfish

Gold fish are just fancy carp. Big orange carp. I raise Koi and Goldies and you wouldn't believe the number of people that want them as bait on the river.I won't give them any for bait. That is not good for the river. They probbly won't survive, but I won't take that chance. The other thing about Koi and Goldfish is that they root around so much, the water is always dirty looking. They keep the bottom and sides of the pond stirred up, depending on how deep it is.
