Tank To Pond

[joshjames]

i hav 1 goldfish and 1 shubunkin and want to put them in my pond outside
would they b ok being moved from a tank to a pond

 

[smegforbrains]

I wouldn't see any problems, just remember that normal transport and acclimatisation rules will apply

They should be OK, but make sure you feed them up a little.

personally i wouldn't move them from house to pond this time of year.

there will be a lot of difference in water temperature which will really stress them out or i suppose could well kill them.

but most of the time people will do it and they will look ok and survive.

as i said personally i wouldn't until next year

I completely agree - its sooo cold outside at the moment and i think it would be such a difference in temperature - i personally would wait untill spring

Time frame from tank to pond is too small now..the fish might not get enough time to acclimate before winter sets in... wait til late spring and they can have the summer to get fat
