19-10-2005 08:32 by Alan	I don't know for certain but probably not when you consider their natural habitat. I would suspect that they will need less food though as their metabolism will be running slower.
20-10-2005 03:23 by Kay	I had a pond withgold fish and cat fish in it the whole top froze for about a month so I know they did not eat during that time when It wasent frose I fed them I dont know if they ate or not they wasn`t as active but I felt like I should feed them just to be sure I dont know if that was the right thing to do
