im in the uk , its my first winter having goldfish, they seem to be now
spending more time on the bottom of the pond . can anyone in the uk
let me know possible how much longer before they stop comeing up for
food. thanks

Depends where you are.
I'm in the west of Scotland and my fish still coming up, but are not as
enthusiastic as usual :-)

Usually once the water temp drops to 10c, I switch to wheatgerm food.
When it drops to 4c, I stop feeding.
