Ya just had to let Mother Nature know she had forgotten us eh! Now we
have -13 C, my stream is frozen, my filter is frozen, and we have no idea
what's going on in the pond except that water is moving where it isn't
supposed to be. I expect a line has frozen then popped off or split.

I guess it had to come sometime!

Should I be concerned? Fish are swimming around, not "sleeping".
Approx. 300 gal x 28" deep max pond. 2 @ 6-8" koi and 5 small goldfish.
Fish not fed since late Oct. as is my understanding should not be fed once
water temp is less than 50 F.
Has been unusually mild here in Whitby, Ontario i.e. about 48 F today.
Should be 25-30 F and 2 to 3 " of ice on the pond. Had an inch or so of
ice
back in Nov. during a cold spell but is long gone. Pond is winterized with
plants set in bottom, filter and pump removed, air bubbler bubbling away
(in
case we ever do get ice).
Should I feed the fish since they seem to be active?
