The last couple weeks, I've noticed a few goldfish fry in my pond.
(and I did a happy dance I might add) :-)
I'm quite surprised b/c this is my first attempt at a pond.
(See "story" below if interested.)
However, I'm wondering if the older goldfish would eat them......
Everything I've found on-line says they'll definitely eat the eggs, but will
they eat the baby fish once they've hatched?
Thanks,
Nicole
GF parents do eat their babies until they are too big to fit in their
mouths. Having just gone through my first OOOH! BABY FISH!
...TO.....Who wants fish?? I dont want to have to kill them!, i can
only say "have fun, enjoy your pond life, but be careful what you wish
for by way of babies"
