In the moment in my pond (fantail and ryukin) the temperature is
near 50 F
( 10C ) in winter they are under the ice

Under ice? 10 C doesn't seem too cold for freezing weather! So that
layer of ice on the pond is quite a good insulator.

I think 10C is at the moment, rather than when the pond is iced over...
