Been a while since I've been on here so a lot of catching up on reading. I have a question concerning Intex swimming pools. I know they can be used for koi/goldfish with no problems. My question is would a setup in an Intex pool be ok during winter? I've started on my inground/above ground pond but due to an unforeseen surgery, I will not be able to finish in time for winter (surgery and the medical costs). I'm in southern Louisiana and we do get down below freezing but usually lasting a day or two when it will get back up in the 30s and low 40s. I have both goldfish (Owatonna) and some small koi (between 4 and 6 in). About 15 in total. The Owatonna I had in a 300 gal cattle trough last winter with no problems with above ground pool contractor san Antonio. I bought a second 300 trough which is being used as a skippy for the pool along with other filtration which will be used on the pond. Possibly over filtration on the pool with the skippy, a large pressure filter, and a trickle filter. If need be and the Intex will not be ok during the winter I can set up one of the 300 gal troughs again like before. I was just concerned about having 15 fish in 300 gals even just over winter.
Any suggestions, please. I know with the Intex the walls would just let the cold chill up the water just that much faster. I do have a lot of bubble wrap I can put on the outside walls. Don't know just need ideas and suggestions, please.
