Dechlorinate the water and add some Bio-Spira to start with. this leaves out the need for cycling.

I have 2 feeder fish that have grown to over a foot in length. So it all depends on how cost effective you want to be. Even the feeders get good looking when they get that size.

what do i have to do before i put them in?
Fill the pond and I would let it sit at least overnight to make sure it doesnt have any leaks. Dechlorinate if you can.

what food is good?
Depending on the size of the goldfish. Flakes, or pellets.

and is there a way of telling male and female i dont want babies ?
You can only tell once they get to breeding age. Usually pet stores dont have goldfish old enough to breed unless they picked them up from someone whose tank they outgrew.
