I love goldfish. They are one of my favorite things on this earth and I want more but atm cannot get a tank big enough to house them. I have wanted to do a pond for a very long time but the place I live has honestly the coldest winters almost on this planet besides places that are so extreme you can't live lol.
Let's say overnight it hits 4.3 degrees Fahrenheit and we have at least 5 inches of snow. Or it can potentially reach -60 degrees Fahrenheit (I've never seen it happen but apparently to google it can???)
I would obviously remove the snow around the pond and I know it can't freeze over, so do I use a heater? My filter might freeze so I'd at least have an air pump (at the right place) in the pond. I work almost all day so I can't stand outside to slowly melt the ice off the top.
A lot of people have ponds here but I don't know what they will do during the winter besides put them in a big tank but Koi should not be kept in tanks (winter is a fat 5 months). I can't get a tank to put them in (and I would not get koi anyway.)
I can't have a pond can I? :/ Has anyone dealt with his before? Thank you so much.
