Default Goldfish are so Hardy!

We have a small plant pond attached to the side of our fish pond, the water
is quite separate. My wife from time to time transfers a floating weed type
plant
(like duckweed) from the fish pond to the other one. She was cleaning out
the plant pond, full of mud and very smelly, and to her amazement found four
small fish, two about 1" body length and two about half that size. I guess
she must have transferred some eggs at some stage, possibly twice, seeing
there are two different size fish.

How can sensitive fry live and grow in such a "wrong" environment?

They have now happily joined their relatives in the big pond :-)
