Fish During Winter
During the winter, fish swim to the deepest part of the pond, lake, sea, etc. Of course the bottom is colder, right? NO! I really isn't! In the summer time, the bottom of any water is colder. Why? Because the warmpth from the sun is warming the top layer of the water... Not the bottom. So during the winter, the coldness from the wind, snow, and rain keep the top layer of the water cold. So, exactly the same thing happens, but there is a weather change! Therefore, in the winter, the deepest part of the water is warmest.

So, the fish swim to the bottom of the water and swim slower than usual. Not all fish do this, but a majority of them do. And only a handful of fish can't live throughout the winter. So I would ask a fish keeper about the fish before I take them home and put them in my pond. Especially before winter...
