I noticed this morning one of my pond Goldfish practically dead in the bottom of my ~60 gallon pond. The pond is frozen on top but has a water fall that has been keeping the ice broke around it. I thought he was dead since he wasn't moving and there wasn't anything I could do, so I went to work. I came home and moved them inside since I noticed one of the other goldfish was swimming weird. I was told that goldfish can live in really cold water as long as there was a spot that air could come in. However, this is the first time I left them out in the pond during freezing weather and apparently they can't handle too cold of temperatures.
So, I thought this fish was dead but when I took him out of the pond, he was still moving...a little. And he seems bent. He doesn't swim. He just sinks to the bottom.
Does anyone know what's wrong with him and what I can do for him? I have medicines for fish if I need to treat him. I really want to save him. I've had him for a while.
