Fishy Fishy

So here's our pet fish. We're not very caring owners because we are not sure if they are alive for not. They are in a pond outside in our patio and are now under a layer of ice (hence the white speckles in the picture). We got these fish in the summer and were really excited about them. We watched them grow and even multiply, but as the winter came, we were unsure of what to do with them. Our pond isn't very big or deep and we didn't know if the entire pond would freeze through or if they could survive in a little bit of icy cold water below the surface. I guess as the weeks and months went by though, we just kinda forgot about them. Fortunatly for the fish, we've had a relatively mild winter and it hasn't been too cold for a long period of time. When I looked outside today though, the fish were really really still. So, I'm not quite sure what that means. Either they are really good at sleeping or they've well.....ya know! I'll let you know what happens in the spring! At least they were only 30 cents each! Is that mean?
