My pond doesn't have anything remotely resembling that contraption. You must be thinking of someone else's pond? :-)

How do they survive? How do they eat when it's frozen?

Oh! You were referring to the koi babies! No they all died or got eaten.

I woke up the pond this week. Although, it probably woke itself up a few weeks ago; Thanks global warming !! Did a 50% water change and started to feed the fish pre-season/spring food (Wheat Germ). The filter and water feature aren't online yet, that's this weekend's chore. It looks as though quite a few babies made it from last year. I have tiny little koi/comets swimming around this spring. Sadly there are way too many so I will have to cull them.
