Hi all,

I have a small backyard pond (7'x5'x2'deep) in southwestern Ohio.
Temperatures were ranging in the 40's or even lower 50's, but lately, it's
been in the 20's and 30's.
Anyway, I will be moving soon to Indianapolis, about 2 hours north and west
of me, and of course, I want to take my fish. I don't have another pond dug
yet, and probably won't until next spring at the earliest, so I'm figueing
on keeping them on a stock tank till then.
My question is about taking them out of the water and transporting them. Can
they be safely moved when it's this cold? I understand some of them might
now make the trip; but I want to maximize my chances. Or can I not even
touch them this time of year.
They've been awake and moving around, no ice on the pond at all so far this
year.

Thanks in advance,

Sean
