baby gold fish care in the winter

[PGBRAT]

I have several baby goldfish that will not be ready to go into the main pond until next spring. Anyone have any suggestions as to what to do with them this winter, they are now in big watering troughs and I have the option of moving them inside to my unheated sun porch, should I do this?

I have a large tub (about 200 g.) in the basement that I use as a nursery for any small fish that aren't ready for the pond. The water stays fairly cool, so I don't feed too heavily, but they do put on some size over the winter. A small pond filter helps, as do frequent water changes ( 10 - 20 percent ). John
