I guess they act as filters and eat all the horse mouth gunk. Meanwhile the little fish poop is so tiny next to the huge tank that no one realises it's there - that or else the sides aren't made of clear glass, so it's just a con.
No, seriously, why don't they get eaten?

Nope, the horses don't swallow the fish. And, kenny - the water gets drunk and replenished. The amount of waste the fish create in a big stock tank is minimal, so it's not a problem. Heck, it's not a problem in my little pond, either. And nobody drinks out of that except the neighbors cat. Jodi

Also, the goldfish eat mosquito larva. And with horses being susceptable to West Nile Virus, that's a good thing. Jodi

Jodi I bet those little fish need valium! I would! So here I am, swimming around minding my business, eating mosquito larvae, and then, all of a sudden, a big hairy horse mouth plunges into my world and tries to eat me!

asking me what I was going to do when I got home. I said I've got a mare to breed. Then "she" said, well, where are you going to do this? I said that I've got a sandy corral that I use. Then she asked how I knew that the mare was ready to breed. I said that she shows interest in the stallion, urinates, raises her tail and winks a lot. And then she said, in all seriousness, you means she actually winks and flutters her eyes?
