This is my first pond and although familiar with aquariums this is a bit
different. 1 - Do I need to remove the goldfish and shubunkins to an indoor aquarium or something for the winter? It gets cold here but not terribly. Can dip below zero in the winter but not often. Snow rarely sits on the ground for long, but we do get an occassional few days where a few inches just doesn't melt off. It is a lined pond about 6x8x2' deep. In the winter there will be no filtration as it's too cold for above ground pump to run without freezing. I don't *think* the water would freeze solid but would expect the top few inches might at the worst part of the winter since the water wouldn't be moving then. 2- I've not as of yet put any plants in the pond but would like to. Do they generally need to be removed (brought in) for the winter? or are do they go dormant for the winter? 3- Any recomendations as to what type of plants to put in the pond? We live in central oregon (zone 8, I believe). Any advice is MUCh appreciated. TIA, Carol |
