Carolyn, they are goldfish (shubunkins and others). The koi went to the blue herons, and another set of goldfish to raccoons and herons.

Mothermole, when I've had to medicate I put them in 5-10 gallons (usually 5 gallons) because the antibacterial/antifungal medicine has to be in water that is at least 70 degrees. As long as they're aerated with a good bubbler, they don't swim much when they're in the infirmary. I change out the water with suction. The water in the pond is around 57 degrees.

I simply don't have the room for a larger indoor pond, but they are happy and safe and love to tear up the plants.
