Goldfish will survive over winter at just above 32F freezing with 2 to 3 inches of ice over the surface of a pond provided a hole is kept for the transfer of gasses. This can be done by using a hot saucepan to melt the ice. Just keep on boiling the water and putting the saucepan back in the same place. Takes time but does the job. Never smash the ice. The concussion will damage if not kill the fish. Now as far as handling warm water is concerned they can handle 80F+ for short periods but they show stress and shortage of breath. The optimum temp for their comfort and health is around 60F.

Goldfish do not populate any rivers. This because goldfish are not wild animals, so for one to be living in a river would be about the equivalent of a golden retriever living in the woods. Goldfish do not populate rivers, however, they can be commonly found in outdoor ponds.


Will goldfish kill a beta?

No, a goldfish will not kill a betta but they should NOTbe housed together. First of all, bettas are tropical fish, meaning they need temperatures of 75-85 F while goldfish are cold water fish and need much lower temperatures. Also, bettas are usually quite aggressive and territorial so I would not risk housing him with a goldfish.
