Hi all,

Just took a peek at my fish while I changed the water and they look fine.

I put them in a barrel and wrapped with insulation in a non-heated garage. Added a under gravel pump and a bird bath heater from UFA.

Seemed to work well. Now to fix my leaky pond waterfall

That's great! I know my aunt has goldfish in her outdoor pond and they overwinter without any filtration or heater all winter - don't ask me how!

We used to have goldfish in a big jordenier (sp) in Australia and they overwintered fine, but the ice was never more than a couple mm thick. They are amazingly tough critters. Gotta admire 'em! :thumbs:

Great news!

I'm looking forward to seeing what all survived our winter now that spring is arriving. I love this time of year. :)
