Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / November 2007Fantials in Pond (Winter)
I have a small goldfish pond in my backyard in central Florida (zone 9). I have Ryukins, Koi, and Shabunkins. I know the koi will be fine in the Winter (water temp probably won't get below about 40-45F at the coldest)... but what about the ryukins and the shabunkins? Anything special I need to do for them? --NIK >I have a small goldfish pond in my backyard in central Florida (zone 9). I > have Ryukins, Koi, and Shabunkins.

This allows any gasses to escape. And make sure you protect them from herons and other predators outside. > ====================== > Just keep a hole in the ice if ice forms on your pond's surface.

Does it get cold enough in central FL for ice to form? >> ====================== >> Just keep a hole in the ice if ice forms on your pond's surface.

Nothing. they are quite winter hardy. Ingrid >I have a small goldfish pond in my backyard in central Florida (zone 9). I >have Ryukins, Koi, and Shabunkins.
