Hi, I live in Ontario, Canada and it can get cold here in the winter, -20.
I have a small pond around 200 gal, 24 inches deep. I have some goldfish
and
plants (hardy lily, pickeral rush, hyacinth, water iris). At what
temperature should I begin to bring the fish in. As for the plants, which
will survive outdoors and which should I bring indoors. As for the pond
itself, how would I prepare it? Thanks.

If you are going to bring the fish in for the winter then make sure you do
it before the water temp falls below about 55 - that's when they start to
"shut down" & it would be more stressful to move them after that.

Dunno about the plants
