Cleaning out the pond today and got a look at my fish that I inherited with the house for the first time.
Top one is some sort of goldfish?
2nd pic, is that a ghost koi of some kind?
3rd and 4th pic, this has me stumped, I am not to knowledgeable about pond fish. This guy is some sort of bottom feeder and the one I would like to i.d the most can anyone help???

Ta in advance.

The top one looks like a goldfish. I'm not sure what the other ones are
 
yeh agree
1 goldfish??
2 common carp
3 tench
how big is the pond
 
Ah! a tench. Many thanks.

Pond is 7' x 3' x 3', which trickles into a 2' x'2' 4'deep filter pool.
Just starting to take an interest in my outdoor fish and am trying to educate myself. Eventually I would like to take up 75% of my garden for a pond and use the existing pond as a filter.
