In such a small pond, a gold fish or two would keep the mosquito population

fish (Gambusia affinis).

You could also break a mosquito dunk into quarters and every few weeks just
toss in a new dunk fragment.

Ok, I put two of those inexpensive goldfish (28c) in there. Although,
I put the water that was in the bag into the whiskey barrel pond, even
though the bag said not to...oops. Newbie blunder maybe. One
goldfish swam around awhile before swimming to the bottom (he's not
moving much now), and I don't know where the other went. Did I do
something wrong, and what would be the cause of fish death in this
case? Chlorine from the bag?

I would hope what they're doing (hiding so to speak!) is just normal.
Not sure what I should look out for.

Finally, to suppliment the food they won't get from bugs, how often do
I need to feed them and do I need to feed right away? And will the
barrel flooding be a problem?
