Default oooooooooooooooooo baby fishies!!

ok I know this is silly, but we never had babies before!

when I cleaned the pond last week I piled all the underwater light rope in
one pile.
it lights up a good chink of water around it.

tonight I noticed babies swimming above it!
I counted 3 dozen. & they hang tight together.

I scooped some up to try to raise inside....... lol,, but that didn't last
long. the resident angel fish had them for a snack.
( I have a separate empty tank I could probably use, but for some reason I
cannot get the ammonia to disappear in it!! it keeps coming back up high!..
have lost a lot of sacrificial fish)

anyway the fish are 1/4 to 1/2 in length, I suppose they are all goldfish
( but some koi might be nice) would save me from buying feeders for the
"out" pond.(do they normally differ in size like that?)
