Actually they taught us, in the KHA class, to move the fish, but always
head first in a figure 8, not back and forth. They won't drown to my
knowledge.

I'd put some salt in the water, about a 1/2 cup should do it. ~ jan

We just added two medium sized Goldfish to our other two in our smaller
pond.
Went out to feed them and could only find three, looked behind a rock, and
there it was. Don't know how long he'd been there.

However, after putting it back in the water, the fish didn't give me a
chance to move him forwards or backwards......just took off at speed !
