Hello:
My friend just passed away and I told the family I would look after his fish pond while the house is up for sale. I don't know anything about ponds or fish so am looking for help.
All I know about the pond is it is about 60 square feet, no pumps or electrical anything and he adds water as needed. He added 5 gold fish a month ago and they may be a few survivors from the previous year lets say maximum 10 fish. They are the little fish about 3 inches long some are gold some are red. The pond has many plants more than 1/2 the space is plants
Family found what we think is fish food, they are small brown round pellets that don't smell of anything (I thought fish food smelled fishy). Unfortunately it is in a plain clear plastic bag, I'm assuming he purchased it bulk. We are rural and it may be up to a month before I get to "town" to get this fish food verified.
My main concern is feeding them, does this sound like fish food and how much and how often should I feed them.
thanks in advance
