Overwintering a 50 gallon pond in zone 7b
I've read a couple of overwintering guides, but they all focus on bigger ponds. I've got a 50 gallon kidney shaped pre-formed pond that's set into a raised bed about that's about 2ft. high. The pond itself is just a bit less deep than that. Can I keep a couple of regular goldfish in there with winter temps typically at 45-50 F during the day and about 30 F at night? Of course, we can get temps in the teens and twenties on the odd winter day, but it wouldn't last long. I have a pump running a bubble fountain that I plan to remove the fountain head from to make a fatter stream of water just gurgling up from the pond to make it less freeze prone. Do you think the fish will survive in such a shallow pond, or should I go invest in an aquarium and bring them in? |
