I did that a few years ago, and then someone
asked me about the "poop" from the gold fish, I never thought about that and
dumped them all into my pond. What do you do for that? And why hasn't anyone
come up with something that you can put into the water to stop algae that is not
harmful to the animals?
Also, with the snails, do horses not get
flukes? I was under the impression that they did. certainly cattle and
llamas get liver flukes and die from them. That is why I buy Ivermectin Plus for
the flukes, but that is only for my llamas, I don't give the plus to horses, why
is that?
You are a rocket scientist, any
answers??

my water!
We have gold fish in all our water troughs. We have three 65
gallon and a 150 gallon spread around the place. All are automatic so we keep
the same water level. They all have gold fish. We put the "feeder fish" in -
1/2 inch gold fish the sell to feed big fish. These suckers are 4 inches now!
They never get fed. They have lived through two winters. We had two
placostomus died the first winter. The person at the fish store said we would
have to bering them in the winter - even FL winters.
So we replaced
them with albino cat fish this summer. They are about 11/2 inches when we put
them in. I swear we are going to have a cat fish fry soon. They are almost 6
inches long. Very little algae and no bugs.

great job if you keep water in the tank. You know, being fish and all.
I think first, I will get an automatic waterier
put on the tank.
