Hey I'm sorry about what happened with the first one. Sometimes fish seemingly go belly-up for no good reason.

So I have my pond up and running and am wanting to introduce some fish to it. There's already 10 goldfish that stayed in the pond over the winter, but I have 2 more in an aquarium that haven't yet been in the pond. Generally when I introduce fish to the pond, I wait until there's very little...
