Do goldfish in a pond lay eggs or give live birth, and should anything special
be done to assure the hatchlings survival?


They lay eggs. The adults will eat all the eggs they can find, so you
won't get too many babies.

If you want to save the babies it is best to take the spawning medium
out and put it into a separate aquarium. don't try to more the young
after they have hatched, they are very delicate for the first month or
so.

Use a sponge filter to keep the aquarium water moving and feed baby
fish food, not too much.
