i can find plenty of info on how not to feed goldfish during a midwest winter in the pond, but no information on "how long can goldfish can go safely without eating until spring"?
its almost 45 degrees in the pond now, i have been feeding wheat germ pellets since around 55 degrees. as this is my first overwinter with fish, im not sure when water temps will be back at 45 degrees in the spring so i can start feeding again. this 90 gallon is 18 inches deep so i have a submersible heater and an airpump now installed for a michigan winter.
