My pond is about 1,000 gal, I enlarged it 4 years ago and lost most of my fish. I was left with 3 goldfish, I bought 2 beautiful Ryukin Goldfish, hoping they would spawn together. For the first 2 years they just grew, and last year they did get together, several times. They had some of the most beatiful goldfish I ever saw, some were just gold but most are a mixture of gold, red, white & black, they look like Koi some with extra tails. I went out the other day to feed them, I counted 5 adults and about 40 frys 5"-6" to 2". My problem is they will be more than I need, but what am I going to do when they start spawning? My DH says just put them in the big pond, they will just be fish food, I hate to do that . I wish some of you'all were around so I could give them to you. Does anyone have any suggestions, I don't guess there is any to keep them from spawning is there? I need HELP!!!!
