bring them in before the temp outside drops below 55oF. that is when their immune

First, how cold can goldfish stand the water? It's getting chilly at night
here near Boston - I don't know when to bring them in. For the winter they
are going into a 55 gallon tank w/one other fish, and it's pretty much a
constant 80 degrees - it'll take time to get 'em used to the warmth, but
they survived over the summer in the shallow pond and that water got very
warm!
