Yes, the golden orfe is basically the rosey red version of the fathead minnow but for the ide. Same species, just a man bred genetic color mutation that makes the fish a golden/pinkish coloration.

Ide were actually accidentally introduced into the Potomac River where I live in the late 1800's by the FWS. A flood inundated some of their rearing ponds where they were studying ide and those ide were washed into the Potomac River. I have collected one ide in the Potomac River in all my years of collecting in it and its tributaries. So it is certainly not common and I have no other experience with them. They are not known to be found in the wild anywhere else in the country except for a few extirpated populations from isolated bodies of water and single specimens scattered throughout.

They are not common in the garden pond trade as golden orfes likevkoi or goldfish are. However, they can be found and my old neighbor had 8 of them when I was a kid.

My understanding is they need current to spawn, being found mostly in large river and lakes and they ascend streams to spawn in the spring. So, they most likely would survive in your pond but would not reproduce in it.
