thats true but honestly how many gold fish do you think last more than 2 months besides those fancy ones

If seen common goldfish survive and breed for years in rivers and farm ponds here in OH. My cousin has a small pond in his yard that he threw 100 feeder goldfish in 15 yrs ago. He hasn't done anything to the pond since. No filtertation or feedings now there's around 500 in there. Would be more but the blue herons discovered the pond 3 yrs ago. the pond is just a hole in the ground, maybe 15ft by 40ft no liner.
So I think goldfish could survive in MO waters.
