I know nothing about goldfish in a pond other than they can become a management issue...and they can attain pretty significant size. GC may graze duckweed or watermeal but it multiplies so fast they cannot keep up. No such thing as a manageable amount of duckweed sadly...

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
