"'Mike'[_4_ Wrote:

a couple of
months ago and there is no sign of them. When they went in they went
straight to the bottom in the murk. Do Goldfish 'hibernate'?

hi mike, this time of year the fish tend to stay at the bottom of a
pond until it gets warmer, then they will appear if they have not been
eaten by a predator, has the pond got a net cover? if not, then you may
not see them again... good luck,, spinksy

Thanks for that information. No the pond is too big to net and the ducks use
it too much. Also it has an island in the middle with a Willow and Pampas
Grass, so that would drop leaves onto the net, well at the right time of
year.

Have to wait and see if they surface when the Lilies start to grow.
