We moved this past summer and inherited a small pond and a goldfish. Now that winter is getting closer, I need to bring the fish inside as the pond is too shallow for it to spend the winter.
Given the size of the fish, I feel like I would need at least a 30 gallon tank. Plus I think there are a few more fish in the pond (not sure the breed). I was looking at options for new or used tanks and they are quite pricey.
I think the previous owners overwintered the fish in a Rubbermaid tote, and I think I will do the same.
I am concerned with the leaching from the plastic, but given that the pond has a liner, I feel like it might be similar.
Are there any other concerns with using plastic totes as a fish tank? Any people with experience?
