Frillylily said:I have some goldfish in my pond, and this spring they had a kajillion offspring and most of them are now at least 1 inch long. I can finally see them now, some of them are starting to color up but many of them are just gray colored. I am afraid there will be WAY too many for the size of my pond, I counted at last 40 one day at feeding time and I am sure there are many more I can't see. I am wondering if using a minnow trap would catch them? How do you all thin out your unwanted fish?


Invite a heron for supper?
Honestly, nature will take care of the problem if you stop feeding your fish. (which, you should never feed them anyway. i never do and things work out just fine.)
If you don't give them away/sell/trade them, plant them under your corn. Old Indian trick. You're welcome.
