Will this KILL my fish?

So I made the common newbie mistake of getting goldfish for a very small aquarium. Although I've kept them alive and well I'm thinking of getting rid of them soon as I am in the process of setting up my new tropical community tank.

My question is will it kill the goldfish to put them in a friends pond at this time of the year? It already gets quite cold at night and I'm afraid that the sudden temperature change would kill them.

Windsor Ontario, Canada which is just south of Detroit Michigan.

What's the temp of the water they're in, and the temp of the pond?



:OT: That makes for a great trivia question - Going south from Detroit, what's the first country you would get to?

Most people guess Cuba or Brazil....

Not sure what the temp of the pond is but what would be the maximum difference in the two temperatures??


Most people have no idea that parts of Canada are more southern than the U.S. Take a look at a map.
