They are tropical fish. There are also wild guppies. If you have a stream or something running into your pond that is probably why. Or someone could have put them there and then they reproduced.

No. These fish will just add to the problem. If you need an elgae eater, there are plenty of fish of that kind that you can get. They are like catfish and feed on the stuff that dirties a pond.

Why your goldfish bites your guppy fish?
Guppies (Lebistes reticulatus) are small tropical fish and they do not belong with Goldfish (Carassius auratus) which are a large coldwater fish. Goldfish are also omnivourous so it is natural for them to eat other fish small enough to swallow. The guppy falls into that category. My advice is to do some homework (study/research) and keep them in separate containers in the conditions they have evolved to thrive in. Guppys need a 1.5 to 2gal tank with a tropical temp around 70F. Goldfish should be preferably in a pond but a minimum sized tank for 1 fish is a10Gal with no heater required.
