i have 3 "feeder" goldfish, two black and one gold, plus 3 fantails in my pond. I never, ever see the 3 feeder goldfish yet they take up valuable resources in such a small pond. They are living and growing, but I get little enjoyment from them. They are crazy paranoid and never swim in the open unless chasing a fertile female. I am tempted to transfer them to our local golf course pond and hope the best for them. Am I being too selfish and mean?
