Dead in the water column not the pond. I don't know about a fish kill in temps in the 30's. When the water gets that cold unionized ammonia is low and oxygen is high. Other than PH, unionized ammonia is dependent on temperature right? Furthermore I wasn't aware bacteria was very active at lower temps anyway.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
