Bluegill babies????

[Viggen]

I looked at my pond today after getting home from work & I was just about to throw some food in for the goldfish & 2 bluegill then I saw something that surprised me. 

I swear I saw a baby bluegill?  Do they reproduce in a backyard pond?  He looks to be about 2 in long & I know I have seen small fish in there the last week or so but I just thought they were goldfish that aren't gold

bluegill are prolific breeders.  try to net some out.  if they are young bluegill you will be able to tell.  i have had the goldfish spawn before, the young never survived the winter.

They are like convict cichlids...they would breed in a teacup if you let them

LOL..... I know it's not because I my pond skills that cause them to breed!  I did have goldfish babies but they are all BIG now.  The ones that didn't make it I think the hering got last summer ---> winter
