And we had regulars in Ottawa and Sudbury who managed to keep them in no deeper ponds than that, without heaters. When they die here in the winter in shallow ponds, and a bubbler us used, they claim it was hyper chilling. Disturbing the water layers until the bottom layer was too cold for the fish to survive. Hal's advice on bubblers is exactly what I would have given. If there's no heater wouldn't the bottom warm layer mix with the colder upper layer and "chill" the bottom to the same temperature as the top (near freezing) layer? -- derek -- RM....
