I haven't seen mine floating yet and i think when it warms up i will
try feeding them. They have been in there since september without
food, but they were twice thier original size when i last caught a
glimpse of them. I wish they weren't afraid of me. I figure if they
can make it through the teens, they will do ok in future years. I was
cold last night when i wrote that and i was thinking first i was glad
to have a house and second i hoped the fish weren't miserable. If they
die i will probably just get a couple skeeter eaters next spring.
Thanks

part of the answer depends on how cold it gets and how little the fish are
(be sure to acclimate them to the water temp change of course). I have a
'feeder' goldfish that I saved during mild weather a few yrs ago. He was a
couple inches long and was fat by winter and lived fine with pond water
temps in 40's. My .10 feeder fish probably was a cross between a common
goldfish and a fancy one as he is plump but short in body after 3 yrs. Doing
fine this winter too. I have to say that out of the original 10 feeder fish,
I only had three survivors (two given away since). They are not typically
healthy due to the conditions raised/kept in so dont feel bad if they dont
make it.

p.s. It is a good thing to try and save those guys if you want to. I try to
avoid looking at that tank when visiting my LFS.

If i took 2 lucky feeder goldfish from a pet store, (they would surely
be eaten or live in a little WARM bowl) and placed them in a 4X2 ft
home with plants and bugs and everything, and it got real COLD, would
they still be LUCKY gold fish?

I feel like i am abusing them. How dumb, i know.....
