i just sent my goldfish to the pond, and im worried?

about 3 weeks ago i went there just to take a look at the pond and saw a BUNCH of kois/goldfish swimming at the top

now that i went to the pond to let my goldfish live in there, i didnt see any more koi nor goldfish swimming, i did see triops though, they look like plecos under the water. will they be alright?, the goldfish are 6″ each. and i just putted the 2 of them.

can there be like basses and predatory fish in a BIG pond where there are goldfish and koi and triops living in there????
the pond im talking about is very big it belongs to my friend’s neighborhood, but i DID see goldfishes and kois in there
well my friend also putted his common pleco in there because it was too big for his tank, months later he was waiting at the school bus stop, and he took a look at the pond, and saw a pleco near the shore of the pond, his pleco grew like 10″ from where he left it. and is STILL in there

can i put triops in my tropical community tank?

i have cory catfish, a bunch of tetras, and a rubber lip pleco. is it ok to put triops in with them???

Triops, fry food?

Can I dump a bunch of Triops into a fry tank? Would I have to remove the larger ones? I think theyre strictly algae/pellet eaters but I dont want the bigger ones getting interested in my little fry.

My story:
The fry I started out with are the fry from the breeding of my two bettas. This was my first time and i was WAY in over my head. I didnt have the ability to go to the store and buy things like microworms so I grew insuforia for them but I dont really think they ate it seeing as how there are three Betta’s left from a rather large group.

I was about to clean out the tank when I noticed there were three of them, a month old approximately, and probably smaller than they would normally be.

Ive recently gotten the three into a container so that I can keep an eye on them and It’d hit me pretty hard if these three die.

They dont/wont/havnt eaten the crushed flake food that I read they should be consuming by now soo.. What do i do?
