What are some colorful, hardy fish that will survive an ice-over in my decorative pond?
Its abut 6 ft deep, and there are shallow parts that could completely freeze during a hard ice storm. any attracitive fish you could think of that would survive a harsh winter. how about if i break up the ice as often as it freezes?
Never, ever break up the ice on a pond with fish in it. That will definitely kill them. The shock waves from hitting the ice damages their internal organs.
Goldfish, koi and fish native to your area are about the only fish that will overwinter in a frozen pond. Six feet deep is deep enough so that they will not be frozen stiff and die in the ice.
Their metabolism slows way down as the temperature goes down and they do not need to eat. If you feed them, the food will not be digested and it will block their intestines, killing them. As the weather cools down, 55 degrees is the stop feeding point and as it warms back up in the spring, 55 degrees is the start feeding point also.
If you want to have open water, the best thing to do is get an air pump and run it all winter. If it freezes over anyway, just shut it off, do not break the ice! The fish will be fine in 6 feet of water.
