That's the only way that I know to get rid of the goldfish for a homeowner. Now, depending on the state regulations, Rotenone is an option for a licensed applicator. That will get rid of the goldfish too.

Other than those 2 options, I'm at a loss. No fish that you put in there will eat only the goldfish.


Rotenone is illegal in Massachusetts. Not sure about the other states in the New England.

What state are you in Greyhound?

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
