| Tank sizing I need to bring my 5 goldfish in for the winter. My pond isn't deep enough to keep them outside. They are probably 1.5-2" long. Is the ration 1 gallon per inch of fish? I can't remember. Would they be alright in a 10 gallon tank for the winter?

| You could just heat the pond. They will be fine in 10 gallons |

I think it would be too expensive to heat the pond. I ran a water-trough heater one winter, and it was amazingly expensive!

Thanks Chasey. Unfortunately, my pond is not deep enough to prevent it from freezing to the bottom. I haven't measured it, but I dont' think it's even 18" deep. I'm wondering what to do with my plants....because I think they'll freeze too.

I'm sure there is. The website you linked said to use a floating livestock water heater...but those take so much electricity to run. I would rather just bring the fish in and buy new plants next year. It's probably still cheaper.
