Little Fish- Big Fish

[Devin]

I have two small goldfish that I hatched last year, they're about 3 inches
long each (including tails). I want to put them in with my big fish, which
range in size from 5 to 8 inches in length (including tails).

If I do this now, will the little guys get picked on by the big ones? If I
do put them in the larger tank, how long should I keep watch on things to
make sure that the big fish have accepted them and everything is going well?

Thanks,

Devin

They should be fine. Mine mix in the pond all the time, as soon as
the babies start acting like fish, about a week or so, the bigger fish
leave them alone.
