Question
I have a small 65 gallon pond with water Lilly's (no flowers) and gold fish in it. How do I care for the plants and pond in the cold weather. I thought of bringing in the gold fish to a tank in my home. Any advise will help
Thank you,
Anna

Answer
Where do you live?  If it gets really cold, less than 20 degrees F often, there, then you will probably have to bring in the fish if not the plants.  For information on overwintering plants, see http://www.fishpondinfo.com/plants/overwinter.htm

Whether or not you bring in the pond inhabitants depends on your weather there, and I don't know where you are.  Good luck!
