Sheesh, yet more assinine scioentifc data spewed from an idiot without
any basis or control top abck it up. I seriously doubt the water in
those kiddie pools froze to any substantial depth with a heavy frost.
A skim coat at most......send those fancy guinea pigs to a person who
lives up in the cold mid west or northcountry CArola nd see if the
results are the same come April or May of next year. Your assinine
posts as such do nothing to help folks try and make a decision to leat
their goldies inor out during the cold months, and what little y may
find works or does not work for you is far from being sufficient to
sway folks on what they need to do espeically when its proven the
fancy types do not far well overall in frozen ponds..........

The 5 lionhead goldfish in the 150g outdoor kiddy-pool pond came through the
first killing frost in excellent condition. The ice melted and there they
swam. Proof once again fancy goldfish are as hardy as Shubunkins and
comets. The water-bubble eyed GF are also fine in Tank #3 (650g). These
tanks get sun in the afternoon in winter. Water in both have always
remained crystal clear.
