I set up a new 100 gallon stock tank to use as a pond this year. I have plants in and a couple of trapdoor snails but I'm wondering when I can add a couple of (Sarassa) fish. The temp of the pond in the afternoon is at about 60 but I just checked this morning and it's down to 50 F. degrees.
Will the fish survive coming from the pet store to a cold pond such as this?
 
(Sarassa), you mean Comet Goldfish, right?

Yes, you can add some now, as long as you acclimate them the same as you would for aquarium fish, float the bag, etc...
