I don't know what else to call my goldfish. My fish constantly stay underneath my lily pads in my pond. They even dart back into the pads when i try to feed them or get close to the pond. The only things that I can can think of is that they like the cooler water that is underneath the pads,my pond is only about 18" deep. Or they are scared of my "killer bullfrog"I mentioned my ordeal that I am having with it in one of my earlier posts . My pond is in almost full day sun. Does anybody have any ideas on how I can get my fish to swim more freely in my pond ? My lily pads are growing fairly close to my waterfall. Would a aerator persuade the goldfish to come out more? I also have 2 spitters in my pond. I have them shut off for now. Would it help if I turn them back on?
