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

Mt Triops don’t usually go down the bottom of they’re tank they usually found right at the top sticking they’re noses out in the air!,or just upsidedown but moving.
