Regular water changes or plants are the only way to get rid of nitrates.

You would need filtration of some sort, that can be as simple or complicated as you want it. Mine is a simple sponge filter that I rinse out a few times a week. I don't cover my raised rock pond, but you could use netting or even hardware cloth tied down with bungee cords. Lots of ways of doing...

Predators don't bother my raised pond due it's location within a barn foundation and being up next to a barn. I also float plastic duck decoys and have cinder blocks with large hole for cover for them.

You can use bigger stock tanks for an above ground pond you can cover. I have a single ancient yoyo loach. It just keeps going. It's about 15 years old.

You also keeping them with other species? Goldfish have different temperature requirements as they are cold water species. Single tailed varieties generally do better in cooler tanks, and fancy varieties usually need temperatures a bit warmer but definitely not anything over 70. Goldfish need...

How many do you have? I keep goldfish in a 29, a 55, a 75, and my big ones spend the cold months in a 125. My outside pond is only about 250 gallons. The key in my opinion with goldfish is large water changes every 1-2 weeks. Ive had my original single tailed ones since 2003. I lost one at age...

Do as I did and eliminate all hiding spots for growing babies and the adults will eat the eggs, and any that hatch. I only had breeding one year with my goldfish, by the next year they were big enough to eat up any that survived past the egg stage.

They are genetically modified. They contain jelly fish DNA I believe. It's the start of Jurassic park.

I do water changes every 7-10 days. With goldfish I like to do 50-90 %.

With large water changes you can keep them in less. I give mine 5-10 gallons each. I've had the same fish for 15 years. They go between a 125 gallon tank and a 250 gallon pond.

I currently have 2 tanks running, come fall it will go back to 3 when my big goldfish come in from my raised pond. I have a 125 and a 55 for goldfish and a 75 for tropicals. Mostly angels, Cory cats, gourami, and black skirt tetras. At one time I had 11 going but I have been downsizing.
