Update!
I used a common minnow trap, and I cut the foot out of a pair of panty hose and put a spoon of goldfish pellet feed, like I always feed them and then secured it with a clothes pin and closed it in the trap. then I put the trap just barely in the water so it was all covered, anchored it and left. I came back 30 min later and had almost 20 1 inch goldfish. I did this for like 3 or 4 times and caught about 40 fish. (over the span of a week). I put the fish in a 5 gal bucket and just change out the water some everyday and feed them. Now that I have them out, I will euthanize them all at the same time using the clove oil. I did advertise them on here for free if there is anyone in the Springfield MO area that wants to come get them, otherwise they will go to the pond in the sky this wknd. Many of them are orange and I'd say half are just silvery colored, pretty in a tank, but don't show up much in the pond. Glad to have them out.
