Hello I'm looking for some advice on my baby fish. I have what I believe is a 60 gallon lined pond. I have 5 fish which I have had for about 4 years, They are now 5 - 6 inches long. They were 15 cent feeder fish although one of them is very pale gold with long fancy tail and fins. A couple of months ago I saw they have produced two baby fish ( black with their little noses already turning color). My question is how many fish can this pond sustain? The fish do just fine during the winter. I put in a floating de-icer in case the surface freezes over and I keep the pump on although I've read conflicting views on that. I have three plants in pots in the pond plus the pump so I imagine that decreases the actual volume of water. Basically, can the pond handle the addition of the two new fish?
