Pond Temperatures
I have a friend that lives in Calgary.. Her pond does well and it is not
very deep.. So yes, there can be success in keeping ponds in the Great White North ( and on the praries to boot ). I have a friend in Moose Jaw that also has pond going, I have not talked to him in a while, but I suspect things are going just fine ( I believe his is three to four ft deep ).. Read read read and do more reading before you jump into the pond idea... That way your enjoyment is larger than disappointment.. Tim.. "Steve" wrote in message news:7N2Pb.180444$X%5.168837@pd7tw2no... Hello, I'm sure this question has been asked over and over but I haven't been able to find any real specific answers to it. I saw some posts where people are up in Canada and they have a pond in the backyard. I live in Calgary and the temperatures here get pretty cold at times (-20C to -30C). If I were to build a pond about 3ft to 4ft deep, would goldfish be able to survive the winters if I took the necessary precautions? I.e. Covering the pond with something and keeping the pond from completely icing over? Having a pond sounds like a great hobby but also lots of work! I'm just curios about what success or failure stories in maintaing fish in the pond in areas where the temperatures are frigid. Thanks! |
