Yikes, that's not very big for that many fish. Speaking of giving some
away, maybe re-home those goldfish and some koi, keeping only your most
favorite? Good luck with the milk.

You can get EPDM patch material... depends on your hardware store. You can
order it on-line, that's all I know. It is suppose to work best with a
patch placed on both sides of the leak. Keep us posted. ~ jan

Cant see any kind of decent patch replacement done unless the portion to
be repaired is dry. You still need to get water level below hole.
Not likely, since the hole is probably on the bottom (most pressure,
walking in pond, etc..) .
