Goldfish for Outdoor Pools and Ponds 
A pool without fish loses one of its attractive features. Also, fish are needed to destroy 
larvae of mosquitoes and other insects. Fish require little care, and in a pool will look out for 
themselves. It is well to feed them dried shrimp or similar food two or three times a week. 
Over-feeding should be avoided. If fed regularly the fish become quite tame and will come 
to the hand for food.
