Wintering pond fish inside
FYI
We have a whiskey barrel pond with a couple of pond fish I picked up at the pet shop. I was worried about what to do with them over the winter here in Northern Illinois. I considered keeping a pump going outside to provide an air hole, but I was afraid it would shut off and I wouldn't notice it before the guys became fish-sicles. I put my pond fish into a plastic tote container abut the size of a laundry basket. I put 'em in there in October along with some of their pond rocks and a small pump to keep the water aerated. They eat twice a week and not only survived the winter but have grown so accustomed to my face they come to greet me when I take the cover off. So, when is a good time for me to take them back outside? mm |
