Winterizing a pond, information about this you can find on site www.gardensupermart.com. Some of what you can read on this site, For many gardeners, overwintering fish can create a great deal of anxiety, but with some helpful advice, it can really be quite do-able. You can choose to leave the fish outdoors if you have an in-ground pool or pond, or you can choose to take your fish indoors. When the water temperature reaches 42 degrees, goldfish and koi will go into a natural state of hibernation. At this point, if you wish to overwinter your fish outdoors, you can remove the pump from the pond, and stop feeding the fish. Goldfish and koi are naturally cold-water fish, and as long as the pool or pond does not freeze solid, the fish will do fine.
