well, thats what some people i sued to wait on at the lfs said. they put the fish in a garbage can (cleaned) with an air pump for the winter in their basements. there they do weekly water changes, siphoning excess food and taking care of the fish. then they re-strart their ponds in the spring/summer. no shed, unless its heated. up here, that shed might collapse to snowfall or would freeze the water surface and the fish become like the frozen caveman.

Cute
You/your mom could get about 5+ rosy red minnows, they wouldn't get stunted and die like goldfish, and they look kinda of like small comets from above.
HTH
i like that idea and she might go for it. ill run it by her! thanks!
actually, what seems to be crowded is perfect for fish as they give the animals cover from birds (hawks and others especially- can throw the owl in as well as my folsk live next to a field). so its really quite nice. like, for mosquito control she bought some sort of floating thing that slowly breaks down into small particles that supposedley drive away those dam insects. its wqorked-no trouble with them and we live like a stones thro from wet lands where theres like swarms of them! good idea on the fish though! thanks!
lol, only plants below are anacharis and they are THRIVING! like limited light as the plants are dense on the surface and the pond is beneath a tree. lol, theres like limited sunlight, but all is well!
