Fancy Goldfish for Water Gardens and Ponds, Orandas, Telescopes, fantails, pond fish

Thanks for posting this great video! I was wondering if you left your Orandas our there all year round or if you brought them in during the winter. If you leave them in the winter, how cold does it get where you live? Thanks!

@ChiliPepper37 We are in northeast ohio, it can get down to -10 or -15 here though maybe not this winter. We have a small 250 watt thermostatically controlled deicer that keeps a 10 inch hole in the ice. Minimum air temperature is not relevant. If ice is 2 inches thick or 10 inches thick the water at the bottom of that ice is the same just above 32. The important feature is having a tiny hole for oxygen and gas exchange. That is what kills goldfish and koi when they cant get air.

@ChiliPepper37 if its -35 the fish would survive as long as the pond is deeper than the ice and CO2 and methane can escape through a tiny hole.

@MoneyFukinMike They are not in the wild anywhere around the world. We messed with there genes to create these. The ones in the wild are carps or commons and comets
