    I started my fish pond about 30 years ago, wen through various phases. I think there are about 70 fish in there. I have no idea what they are.
    We noticed some growths on some fish and heard it may be overstocking. So we moved 11 fish to the duck pond - no ducks any more as we got a husky.. I also moved some floating plants across.
    After a few weeks we suddenly say little black fish... They have now grown to about 60mm long and have started changing colour to "gold". We moved them here due to overstocking but now we have more fish. We would like to reduce our stock , what can we do?

    Any comments?
