Can goldfish spend the winter in an outdoor pond? How often are they fed outdoors during the winter?

Goldfish can survive tenaciously in the environment with water temperature above 0 ℃. Whether goldfish can spend the winter in outdoor fish ponds depends on the temperature of the area where the fish ponds are located in winter and whether the fish ponds will freeze. In the northern region where the climate is very cold, shallow fish ponds are certainly unable to keep goldfish through the winter. If the climate is warm and the water temperature of the outdoor fish pond is not less than 8 degrees Celsius in winter, you can also try to let it spend the winter outdoors.

1. Can goldfish spend the winter

in outdoor fish ponds? The lowest water temperature that goldfish can survive is 0 ℃. When the water temperature is lower than this temperature, goldfish will be frozen to death. So to see whether goldfish can spend the winter in outdoor fish ponds, it depends on the area where their fish ponds are located, and whether the water temperature will drop to 0 C in winter. For example, in the north, the temperature is relatively low in winter, so unless it is a deep pool, goldfish will be frozen to death, even if it is not frozen to death, the health of goldfish will be seriously affected, and the color of the body surface will gradually lose luster.

2. How often do goldfish spend the winter outdoors?

If the water temperature can ensure that goldfish can spend the winter outdoors, then adjust the feeding of goldfish according to the specific water temperature. Generally, when the water temperature is less than 15 ℃, the metabolism of goldfish will begin to slow down. If the water temperature drops to 8 ℃, the goldfish will become inactive and refuse to eat, and the metabolism will be extremely slow. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the amount of feed for goldfish, and increase the feeding interval, usually once a week or so. The amount of feeding each time can not be too much, feeding too much will not only make the goldfish eat too much, but also easily make the water quality in the fish pond worse.
