Yes, and I have had good fortune with shubunkins too. There are some very pretty goldfish -- I love all the fantails. And I've got a couple of granddaddy's - almost a foot long. I'd love to cull them down to just the showy ones, but they are the devil to catch unless the pond is drained. It's 4 feet deep, and otherwise in good ecological balance, so I hate to drain it. Will probably need to go in with my husband and a drag net between us. A local pet store will take them, so at least they will go someplace for a new life.

I'm afraid it's up to at least 100 -- at least with a larger pond, it can support them, but I do need to cull them. Here they are in early April last year -- with our mallard pair. As soon as the lilys grow, it's much harder to see them --
