Red Cap Goldfish----need info please!

I have a Red Cap goldfish I placed in my pond. I was told it will be happy in
my pond, with the Koi,Comets, Snails,Tadpoles. But they say it should come
indoors in winter. Maryland winters are to harsh for it.
What are your thoughts. Responses Please

yup. inside for winter... or better yet, heat your pond for winter. Ingrid

=======================
This is really nice. :-) It is indeed an indoor pond.

Fortunately, here in TN we don't have to bring in fancy goldfish. They do
fine outside all winter.

Hi - I am still trying to find info on fancies in a pond myself. Can I ask
what temp zone you are in (8b here) - how deep is your pond and what fancies
you have. I've got a small lion head and ryunkin (3"?), a black moor and
red and white oranda both about 4".
Thanxx

Everything I have read has led me to make the decision not to put fancy
goldfish in my pond. Main reason for this is because they don't swim as
fast as many other fish so have disadvantages when it comes to eating
and fleeing from predators.

I do have fancy goldfish but they live in my 55 gallon indoor aquarium.
Latest acquisition - pearl scale goldfish. They look like swimming
marbles. I just stand there and laugh when I see them, they're so cute.

Susan,

I understand your concerns, but you'll never get the deep colors like they
become in an outdoor pond. Light red/orange becomes deep blood red. Between
my fake fish heron scarer and motion sprinkler I haven't loss a fantail out
of my lily pond, of course all the pads help hide them too. The nicest
thing is how easy it is for me to catch them and bring them inside before
winter. ~ jan
