Good afternoon,
Re Blagdon Affinity Octagon pond.
I still consider myself a pond newbie (I’ve only had the pond 8 months) and have a question about my goldfish.
I have asked previously about feeding once it gets cold and what tips people have for their well-being. My concern is that I assumed my goldfish would be in hibernation by now. The water is approx 46 degrees most mornings and although docile they still congregate around the glass porthole on the pond and come up to me when I stand over the pond. But they aren’t interested much now in eating.
Up to a week ago they were feeding more than usual presumably to prepare for hibernation but it’s practically stopped now.
I’m sure this is all very normal but just to check should they still be eating if not in hibernation?
Sorry for the questions but the whole unit is my pride and joy and I want to ensure all is well.
Best
Paul
