I feel like this is too much fish for the aquarium, so I want to put the comets back into the pond. The fish also appear bored. The comets tend to sleep facing straight up or down, and don't swim too much. Yes, I do water changes.
I'd wait until the pond temperature is roughly the same as the indoor aquarium, and do gradual water change like when you buy a new fish.
We're in upstate NY, I don't know if comets get used to living in warm water year round and putting them outdoors will kill them in winter.
Thoughts?
