goldfish in pond

[maggie01]

I have a small pond inherited from previous owner. I only had 2 goldfish and 1 shibumkin in it. Today I went out to feed them and I about 25-30 fish about 1 and a bit inches long. I have kept fish in a pond before but have never had babies as far as I know. Do I have to do anything and what are the chances they will survive?Pond isn't big enough for all these.

If your pond has plants the fry will survive without assistance no problem.

My fish breed yearly and I give the young away once they get to about 2" in length.

If you do not know anybody after new fish advertise in a local newsagent and you'll be surprised how popular you'll become.

Thanks! Yes there are plants in there and there is no way I would be able to keep them all if they survived. It's great to see them all swimming around though.
