Default frozen pond

Thanks, but I meant that most of the pond was frozen, some fish included,
not just the surface! At any rate, hubby got some of the ice off and
rescued some fish, including our 4 large koi! They are now in the garage in
a rubbermaid tub with a bubbler. Water is still a bit like a slushy, but
they seem to be ok :-) We will do partial water changes every once in a
while, then when it warms up we will put them outside in a kiddy pool till
we can redo our pond. It was also caving in. Lesson learned : DON'T PUT
PUMP ON A TIMER IN THE WINTER! KEEP IT RUNNING!!!!


Wow, I guess you'll be teaching us if pond is frozen will fish still
survive. Wishing you & fish the best of luck, keep us posted on their
outcome. ~ jan
