~jamie~ Big Fish Posts: 463 Kudos: 671 Votes: 65 Registered: 08-May-2004	Hello! We have a 60g indoor pond and am curious how many goldfish (small) are we able to have with out over-stocking? Thank you in advance for your responses!

I would say @the most 5 goldies that would be moved to a 150 gallon pond (with plenty of surface area of course ) after a few months. Remember that commons are very active fish and just like a hyper 5 year old they need the room to swim and play. ^_^"And I said What about Breakfast at Tiffany's"

I drop food right above his head also just to be sure. He is very healthy. But thanks, and I will always keep that in mind.
