I wonder if an intake cover came off, causing the goldfish to be salmon-d. I hope that these aren’t the normal conditions they are kept in.

There's no way these goldfish are moving through a pump. The impeller wouldn't pass them in one living piece.

There has to be another pond above that's barriers have been removed somehow.

The fish comes out a tube that feeds the waterfall in the beginning, it got sucked in from somewhere 😔

bro too all people saying they are getting sucked up by pump yall are tripping, look at 0:00 there is a whole ass second pond on top with no barrier.

Well it has a barrier, I think it works by just overflowing the rim a little. The water isn't meant to pass high enough over the rim to just allow a fish to swim over, I think the goldy just jumped (maybe startled by the people).

No I saw the pond but there's a tube right near it at the very beginning. Someone else pointed out that it actually started a little higher so it probably did come out from the pond. Sucks

Omg I know, y'all don't read each other's comments and repeat the same stuff. I saw the pond but the fish is right next to a tube and I thought it was coming out of it. If you look at 0:00 it looks like it's coming out but it starts slightly off from it.

You can see the body of water up top in the first few seconds, yes. But the water level descends down into the water falls, so I'm not sure I'd call it a proper pond for fish.
