I have 3 of what FAMA likes to call "fancy goldfish". 2 Orandas and 1 Black
Moor.

I keep reading that "goldfish do best in outside ponds". It would be
intriguing to put my fancy goldfish in an outside pond. There's even a spot
in my back yard where I could build such a pond pretty easily.

My question is whether anybody knows if the statement about goldfish doing
best outdoors also applies to fancy ornamental goldfish. These aren't the
totally delicate types--no bubble-eyes or telescope-eyes or veiltails or
anything like that, but they're not exactly rugged either.

Anybody have any experience at putting fancy goldfish outdoors?
