Hello guys! Are goldfish safe in a garden pond?

I'm planning to put goldfish in my garden pond.


It depends. If the water is polluted, if it is too hot, or predatory
birds or animals can get them, or there is not enough food then no.
Small shallow ponds have the greatest risk.

Runoff from lawn chemicals (fertilizer, weed killer) is also a danger.
