Hi all,
A few months ago I set up a pond for Goldfish in my backyard, I currently have 4 goldfish in the pond and recently noticed a lot of algae and plant matter building up around the sides and bottom of the pond. I had the idea to get 2 sucking catfish to help keep this algae in control. After adding them to the pond I noticed the goldfish were showing a lot of interest in them and I'm a little worried that they might not get along too well.
Is it a bad idea to mix these 2 types of fish in the same pond or will they eventually just leave each other alone?
