Fantials 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

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