I am second year ponder and do not know whole lot, and wonder if you all
might answer few questions for me....Last year started with 3 pond comets
and 3 not sure what they are called - multi colored some kind of goldfish I
think - A couple weeks ago noticed several baby fish which are now average
1 inch or so. I have netted about 2 dozen and put in small tank in house -
still lots more in pond though .....3 are pinkish colored and most all the
rest I have seen are sort of dark green/black colored........

So I am wanting to know will the darker fish change color (found 1 baby back
in April that must have survived the winter...that fish was all brown, it is
now about 3 inches and did not change color.

What to do with all these baby fish? I would like to keep the pretty ones,
only have 300 gal pond though. How many fish for this size pond and how big
will they get?

one other issue..

Two of my pond comets vanished three weeks ago, I assume a racoon or heron
got them so I have covered Pond with wire fencing laid on top of 2X4's which
has been effective so far......I would like to remove fencing but do not
want to loose any more fish. Any advise. Thanks much........
