I built a pond about 18" deep and 5' in diameter. Well, this winter I'm leaving my fish in there. I want to know how often you should feed the fish throughout winter if they're in outdoor ponds?

Thing is, the temps where I live don't get below freezing. They dip into the 30's but never below. I live in Southwest Florida, USA, so ice doesn't form and it never snows. I wonder, then, how much goldfish eat during the winter or if they will kind of hibernate?
