Good thought. There are lots of nooks and crannies for them to hide in so it
should be alright. I'll take two or three in and leave the rest to the pond
powers.

Good luck. Here is a link to some pictures of my pond. If you look at the
group fish shots, you will note the babies in with the rest of the fish. I also
have a large catfish, and he seems to get along with everybody. Just don't get
in his way when he's feeding. They generally stay away from him, although the
larger Koi have made a game of sneaking up and stealing his food when he's not
looking. He's sick right now, so I don't have him in the pond, but you can see
most of him in photo number 6. Note the babies in the top right hand corner of
that picture.

In that case I'll let them winter over in the pond. It's three feet deep
and
1000 gallons. I thought they might get eaten by the frogs...New Bull
froglets are in the pond this year. I was thinking of a twenty gallon
tank
and move them out in the spring but now I see that won't do..... Looks
like
the pond for these little babies.... I'll hold off as long as I can
though.

thanks,
Alan

Just make sure that they have some places in which to shelter. Rocks work
well,
and since it will be getting cooler before too long, they won't have the
plants
to hide in. I have seven goldfish fry that are now about 2.5 inches long.
My
waterfall is built into one end of the pond, and there are lots of rocks
where
they can hide if need be. They don't have to now that they are larger.
In
fact, they have already joined the school. But when they were smaller,
they
stayed in amongst the rocks.
