Hi Scott, you've got a kind heart :-)
Mother Nature designed fish to survive the cold. As long as they don't
freeze solid they'll be fine. You've done the right thing in preparing to
keep a hole open in the ice
with your bubbler and floating heater on standby.
And there are even stories of goldfish surviving being frozen in the ice -
but rpg doesn't advise trying it.
