we are in UK - south. probably doesnt drop below freezing for no more
than 12 hours at a time and not very often although everyone says it
will be a cold winter this year. our goldfish and shabumkins have
survived two fairly mild winters so far.



we reckon its more like 2 feet but still too shallow for babies? what
if we got a water heater? i wouldnt know the first thing about keeping
fish indoors - do we use a tank?


Our winters here in SW Ont. Can are colder than yours and I have never
brought fish in because of winter and the first year my pond was only
17" - 18" deep and about 200 US gal - that was 11 yrs ago and now have
24" depth and ~1000 gal - with the mild state of your winter as
compared to mine all you need is an airline if you don't feel
comfortable without something there - IMHO all you need to do is keep a
hole open for gas exchange with a fish load that low
Gale :~)
