I think so. I ran an experiment this past winter. I had several I left in an

outdoor pond because I couldn't catch all of them. I brought some into the
basement and some others into my "cool room" (an unheated storage area). I
could
not find any in the pond this Spring. The ones in the heated basement did
fine. Those in the "cool room" did fine down to 40 degrees. When it dropped
to 37
degrees in late January they died overnight.

lee... that sounds about right from my experience. also seems to go for
least killies too, tho i think they can take to just above freezing.
that is why flag fish live in south florida and not chattanooga!
