Lionhead Goldfish outdoors
"Zëbulon" wrote in message
... [big snip] I've learned a lot on this NG over the years. You can always try a few inexpensive fancy GF and see how they do in your own area, under your conditions. Although my comets and Shubunkins always made it through the winter here in the ponds, they didn't always survive in the barrels. The problem I have is my goldfish tend to breed, then what do I do? My tropical fish (indoors, in aquariums) are the species that are difficult to breed, so I don't have to worry about overpopulation. The first goldfish in my inground pond was "accidental". I had moved some minnows over from another pond and didn't realize I was also moving a baby goldfish. I've since added a few more goldfish, which of course will compound my population problem... I think the wildlife keeps the minnow population in check; at least, I don't seem to have an overabundance of minnows, and they do breed like rabbits. ZB.... Frugal ponding since 1995. rec.ponder since late 1996. My Pond & Aquarium Pages: http://tinyurl.com/9do58 ~~~~ }((((* ~~~ }{{{{(ö ~~~~ }((((({* Gail |
