SAVING Pond Fish From FREEZING Winter!

Today we move the fish from the outdoor DIY mini pond to an inside tank! Luckily, there aren't a ton of fish to move from this pond, but still it was an all day mission. Hopefully they appreciate not freezing this winter!!! MORE INFO ▼

[@cassalamon]

Hey mike, where can I buy the Monterey beach sand you always use?

[@kristiemowry3267]

I bought a small pond heater. It keeps the water around 45F. My 3 fancy goldfish go through the winter just fine at that temp.

[@boges11]

10:16 Chris spits up a half digested Minnow. They are my favourite fish and deserve their own tank.

[@fossphur]

wow i thought that was a leaf but I think you're right

[@beccaschubert3973]

i thought he knew je said oh my gosh but it was the fiah

[@jaxw2628]

Yeah Minnows are so nice, they don't deserve to just be eaten :(

[@rdred8693]

[@jennyvang4894]

Chris is such a beautiful fish. He's really one of a kind.

[@GirlTalksFish]

Chris is so beautiful! Glad we can now see his gorgeous tail and colors.

[@deborahcollis9814]

Where I live ponds freeze over every winter. The only thing we do is break the ice on the top. The fish are fine

[@nakedreptiles]

Not trying to be a negative nancy, but as a subscriber it would be nice if you made updates on continuous older set up aquariums/ponds instead of making a new scape each video and changing everything around. At this point I’ve kinda lost interest in any of your scapes because I feel like you are just going to change everything and redo it in a week/few weeks. I know you just moved, but even before that it was like you make a new awesome scape only to redo it COMPLETELY a couple videos later because it seems you got bored with it instead of allowing it to mature and allow us to see what that looks like. Again, not trying to be negative or overly critical, I just wanted to offer some kind of viewer input.

[@johnchase4408]

Agreed. Constantly changing tells me that it's not a viable set up.

[@matthewrose6865]

I love my white clouds, I've got six and I hope they breed. I'd love a school of them. Great video.

[@AQUAPROS]

Thanks!!!!

[@CJBlack265]

Nice to see Chris and the minnows from the side - they're beautiful indeed 💕👍

[@meghankangaamoo]

Maybe a glass or acrylic pond for the summer so that we can see the fish and Chris better? Beautiful fish

[@AQUAPROS]

That gives me a great idea! 😁

[@meghankangaamoo]

YESSSS Do it!!!@@AQUAPROS

[@aussiejjdude3066]

Or an upside-down tank in the new pond? Goldies love going into them, when I had one on my goldie pond - will add, you mentioned that Chris is shy, they are if they have no species buddies - and they loved it!

[@user-px7op7wg8c]

I couldn't help imagining the fish screaming as he runs with them in the net cuz their bodies are soaked and he's running them through the cold air 🤣

[@shesellsfish]

Glad you finally got them in for the winter.

[@Koby01Kenobi]

10:28 cracked me up hahahaha

[@mikeflo2089]

I love white cloud minnows. Look like lil trout. I have 4 regular and 4 gold in my 20 long betta sorority

[@petethefish6586]

Awesome video, love watching them 😁 and I love Goldfish I own some myself!

[@koiCompetitions]

Good job getting them inside, definitely for the best👍

[@nakedreptiles]

Maybe try and keep most of your scapes the way they are after you set them up and then have maybe 2 “chameleon” tanks that you use to continually change and make new scapes every so often? That way you scratch that itch of making new designs and scapes but people like me get to still enjoy some of the older scapes you have made and enjoy them developing over time. Just a thought!

[@clintonpangburn3698]

Cover it with a piece of sheet insulation overnight and insulate the sides with expanding foam and foam insulation sheets. Watch Serpa Design videos to learn how to make it look like natural stone. Its crazy fun. You can also drop the water a little and hang a night heat lamp on a coat hanger ran through a basic aluminum heat shield. It would be 62° at night or warmer. You could do the same with plexiglass in the daytime if its that cold there

[@ryannow6404]

Can’t wait for the next few scapes!

[@AQUAPROS]

Same;)

[@brunofttt]

My water hyacinth melted within a week of being brought indoors but I didn’t have as strong of light, so hopefully yours will do better!

[@Villuri]

I love your vids and I met you at aquatic experience thanks

[@AQUAPROS]

Thanks for saying hi!!!

[@TurboChris90]

Dope video! Maybe a 40 breeder pond style setup is in order!?

[@shesellsfish]

Happy Thanksgiving, Mike.

[@jackiomy]

Did you add dechlor at some point?

[@josemontalvo4532]

An AirPump will prevent a frozen pond. I would do that for my 26X McGregor 2001 Sailboat while The Southern Part of the San Diego Bay in the Winter. The Chula Vista Marina does rarely freeze, but it does happen. Now that I see your Pond, that is more of a mud than a pond.

[@killertctma]

Used the old pond to cultivate plants and live food.

[@mcaddc]

Why not just add an aquarium tube heater in the pond? It's not very big, and should be able to handle the cold.

[@briansfishtanks]

Great vid!

[@JeremyGoneWildPets]

Chris is looking great!

[@mystique_tinajones4423]

so the cut-outs in them ponds needs packing underneath!!!

[@Nagarjunapathuri]

Do we have any heaters for this kind of ponds outside?

[@baikia777]

Umm why complicate things? you could just get a small container/fish bag, fill it with pond water, put the fishes there and then float it in the aquarium to temperature acclimate.

[@smritikanamukherjee8216]

Your channel icon is super sweet

[@leevandyke4562]

You could style the 40 breeder as a Japanese pond idea and put the fish in there so you can appreciate them better

[@lyrieth8833]

The goldie is wonderful!!

[@pandaries3236]

Goldfish actually florish in colder waters so as long as there is swimming space for him chris would be fine😊

[@maestra3947]

Can you link some nanos to buy that goes along with goldfish? I need very cold fish that live outside.

[@albertochavez6835]

I have the same aqua clear filter for my mini turtle pond 👌

[@DownWithComcast]

good thing nothing freezes in California. Everything is on fire anyway

[@DownWithComcast]

@@susievaldez7793 fire season happens every year. Now isn't that fun?

[@susievaldez7793]

Neel Singh yup. From the San Fernando Valley so I know :)

[@differentialequation9471]

You should put Japanese rice fish in the outdoor pond. They can tolerate the freezing winter and they can only be appreciate from the top.

[@darrylmoore5847]

As much as Chris would like a bigger tank, the thirty cube is better than a freeze in an above ground pond.

[@dennisflanders1957]

Does chris ever eat the minnows? I heard goldfish tend to do that lol

[@UncalBertExcretes]

A big adult goldfish thats never been kept with small fish will eat its own species. But if your goldfish has grown up with small fish and minnows they tend not to see them as food.

[@thetruthhurts6652]

The fish will survive the winter as long as the water doesn’t freeze and it’s clean. When the water is just above freezing they will go dormant.

[@irisderuijter5314]

Why don't you just put the fish in a plastic bag or something to acclimate them? Instead of the ice cubes and the running with the little fishing net.

[@deandrewpowell]

Do u plan on breeding you betta fish any time . if so it be cool to see him breed wish a koi betta or a white marbled betta

[@leevandyke4562]

You should set up one of those metal ones from tractor supply

Did minnows get eaten by raccoons/birds or only the plants?

[@seedsofnaturewatergardens]

Goldfish and Koi, really any hardy type carp or even some hifin cats can overwinter in a pond as long as there is a hole open in the ice for gas exchange. You should build a real pond at your new place.

[@prunerd4744]

What ?! Chris has a wen !! (Little bump on his head) Just like orandas !

[@Populiervogel]

Chris is a crossbreed between a normal goldfish and a Oranda.

@@Populiervogel he was supposed to be a wakin, he probably has oranda blood :)

@@AQUAPROS 🤣

[@ericrouleau3987]

I don't know if you can say that you "saved" the fish if you put them in harms way to begin with? That's just taking care of the animals you claimed responsibility for when you purchased. You upgraded to a warmer tank for winter. Totally click bait. But I like your aquariums and aquascaping skills, don't get me wrong. Just saying

[@ericrouleau3987]

And it won't take days to warm up the tank. Few hours, honestly 2-3 hours it should be at your 72-74° you mentioned. That's a quick aclimation but they should be ok hopefully.
