the fish opens its mouth less as the water gets colder.
Cold water fish will store more fatty tissue by size than warm water fish do. They pack on the added fat for lots of reasons like spawning, travelling or for protection from cold water temperatures. Warm water fish tend to move around a lot more and will also probably eat less by their size although warm water fish do get much larger overall.
No. Less available food in cold water, so only minimum growth during winter and early spring.
so there will be less fish in the water and less waste
Water is at its greatest density at 4 oC.
These fish require a stable temperature in their tank for a healthy life; the normal temperatures of a freshwater tank are within the higher 70's and low-mid 80's F. :) If the temp is low or rising and falls, fish could contract disease and might die if exposed to prolonged lowered temperatures.

True... warm water is less dense than cold water.
Hot water is less denser than cold water and has a greater temperature.

they become less active in the cold
The colder the temperature, the colder the water temperature. The colder the temperature, the slower the fish's metabolism. The slower the fish's metabolism, the more sluggish and slow the fish is. The fish will have less energy and some fish even hibernate.
Goldfish breathe slower in cold water because there is more oxygen in cold water. Therefore they don't have to breathe as much to get the amount of oxygen they need
Cold Water. Water expands when it freezes, which makes ice less dense.
