Hi Cyli!!!
Fancy meeting you here!

I saw all the fuss and the creation over in news.groups and decided to
drop in. This is pretty much as I remember it before the gruesome
twosome sucked people into their black hole of trolldom.
I get around a lot of odd places and groups. Some interest in ponds
because my (recently moved) neighbor had a tiny plastic pond on her
deck for a couple of years and because there's a drainage and holding
pond of about 1 / 2 to 1 acre out my back window. I suspect the
neighbor got rid of her excess fish each fall by putting them in the
drainage pond, because about two or three years ago it began to be
carpeted in goldfish.

Like Phyllis and Jim say, I hope they don't escape. That's why I haven't
put goldfish or the like in our pond (maybe 1/3 acre, dug out of the swamp).
Even though there's little chance they'd get into the creek, it's not worth
the gamble.
Bet it's cool, though, watching all the little goldies.
The ice is officially off of our pond now--hurrah!
They probably will go downstream. The pond feeds into a system that
feeds into a local lake. Which is all explained on a sign at the
street corner by the edge of the pond. Whoever put them in there
either didn't understand or didn't care. There is at least one very
obvious filter at the outgoing end, but....
The lake it will go to doesn't have an outlet, just sinks into ground
water with overflow going through a culvert to a swamp across the road
which has no place to drain and sinks into ground water as far as I
can tell. And it's got algae all over one end, because people will
keep fertilizing their lawns and were allowed to keep them up to the
very water's edge until very recently.
Luckily the small lake has a lot of hungry small mouth bass and some
walleyes. Might even have a pike or two in there.
