Do you know whether that fish is dead or not.

Any of the fancy (round-bodied) types. You just want to avoid common/comet goldfish, koi, as well as shubunkins and wakins which are large too. These all have streamlined bodies so they are easily spotted.

My friend who gave me my fancy goldfish months ago, bought 2 common goldfish the 29 cent kind. I saw them 2 months ago and they were 1.5-2 "s and now they are like 4-5"s and are bigger then my fancy now. I was sooo shocked. I told them how much bigger they get then fancies and he should give them back to the pet store he has 2 in a 5 gallon. I guess in a way they are sold as feeders so probably would have been worse off but still  Anyway just pointing out that yes the common's get big, and they get big fast!!

Well I figure I will let them die and then by some smaller fish to replace them. Of course that is after I clean the pond.

If you take good care of them, be ready to wait for a long time. Common goldfish can live for decades. I would trade them in for the smaller goldfish you would be better off with (feeders are cheap, so you could give them away to someone willing to care for them rather than feeding them to bigger fish if you'd prefer).

What kind of filter would you recommend for my 35 gallon mini-pond?
