We did let someone know because it was the absolute most bizarre thing we've ever found.

Maybe you could add some fresh water?

No we didn't do this, I don't know who did but we did alert the proper people about it.

Almost certainly. There's no cover from the sun and all that algae would kill them.

I doubt they did. Those fish probably have been repopulating that thing for years and eating the algae, any frogs that decide to spawn there, and mosquitoes, or any other insect that happens to land on the water lol those some big ass goldfish dude. My main concern is that that may dry up or over flow at one point and the fish might die, but right now they're clearly in their element if they've been existing there for a while, probably making lots of babies

They look small to me, am I wrong? There’s no way these guys are prospering here, sorry.

Not monsters that they could be in right environment but good sized. As long as enough precipitation falls and food source remains stable they should b able to live here.

I can tell you now, there's probably a lot you can't see. No one came here and just released a bunch of goldfish, or they'd already be dead if they weren't used to/adapted to their living environment. I just said goldfish reproduce A LOT, never said prospering.

And if it floods, they'll get washed out into bodies of water and become invasive. Sigh.

Why would they do this?

Are they trying to murder goldfish or something?

That is so messed up.
