What to do with baby goldfish

2 replies

Three years ago we build a pond in our garden and bought about 10 tiny goldfish and two tiny koi.

The first year the goldfish had two babies and one survived.

The next year they had about 10.

This year we have about a hundred .

We have no idea what to do with them. If we try to give them away to people we know ( eg kids school friends ) they will put them in tiny bowls or tanks and they will be unhappy and die . Ditto pet shops.

I kept thinking that they would get eaten by frogs or magpies but it's not happening . They eat and poo loads and I'm worried about the water quality and keeping them healthy and happy.

Please advise.

Will they not stop reproducing as their environment can no longer sustain them, ie not enough space and food?

We could be in the same position this time next year.

Could you maybe post in some fishkeeping forums for fish enthusiasts if any would like them? I'm not sure about how you're going to change the water to stop them reproducing though
