Guess you must have played some Barry White at the right time, hey?

Pretty little fish and how cold does it get there? Will they survive in the cold? I just looked them up and guess they can take cold water if above 37f so can't have them here, too cold in winter. Must not get too cold where you are.

They cab survive at -15 celsius air temp...and around zero for water...like goldfishes...so during winter they will go into deep part of the pond...next winter they will stay out so we will see

I think they would, j.w; that would be NEGATIVE 15 celsius and ZERO C/32F. If they are like goldfish, they''ll be okay. I DO have my doubts though and will be watching Dime's brood to see how they do over NEXT winter.
