Sounds like all is great in your pond. It may take the goldfish a while to
come out!

It seems as if filter is not a necessity with goldfish.

How big is your pond?

Hi,

We have a new pond which has been filled up for a couple of months now.
We
have some plants in it and use Extract of Barley Straw to control the
algae.
We also have a pump/fountain, but no filter. It is beginning to clear
nicely.

On Friday of last week we bought two goldfish - the first to take a dip in
our pond! Unfortunately, we haven't seen them since! Well, we can see a
head poking out from under a rock occasionally - right at the bottom of
the
pond. Is this normal behaviour?

I am worried because three days have passed since they were put in the
pond
and they haven't eaten a thing since!

Any advice would be great!
