I know goldfish are hardy but we're hitting lows in the 30s (F) in Ohio around this time of year.

What's an ideal water temp to add goldfish to an outdoor pond if we're getting them from 70° water?

Thx!!

Goldfish can live in water that is frozen over as long as there is enough water for them to move and get oxygen from.

Yes, but can they do it on the first day after having been kept for extended periods in fairly warm water?

...details of the pond? Like size and dimensions?

And what is the temperature of the water rather than the air?
