It may. I have heard many times when a pond has frozen over and when the water thaws the fish are just fine. I have also heard of people trying to euthanize their fish by freezing and after they believe the fish is dead and the water is completely frozen they take the fish out of freezer to let the water melt to remove the fish and the fish was alive and swimming around again. Freezing is a inhumane way of euthanizing by the way.

Freezing a fish is lethal 100% of the time. (Well there are some arctic, but they are just harder to freeze.) The water in their cells expands and breaks them. Even it this didn't happen a fish frozen solid would thaw outside in, which would be bad.
PS- Goldfish like most carp will survive in a pond that freezes over. As long as there is still unfrozen water underneath. They sort of hibernate the winter out. So you could stick a gold fish in the freezer for a while, take it out looking dead, and have it recover. (Note that the stress will likely kill the fish in most cases.) You could freeze it solid. Note that goldfish aren't like most fish who will just die.

They weren't frozen alive human beings. Lmao they're some distance too energetic to flow right into a deep freeze like that. They died of the chilly temperatures, then iced over. no longer a god thank you to die, so next time, analyze till now you purchase. Like somebody else pronounced, have some thing that keeps shifting the water, So via that, im guessing you had no clear out? Thats a could for a pond. you besides could desire a heater in the pond for the wintry climate, a heater made for ponds, no longer fish tanks. you will additionally desire some variety of aeration in the pond, like a waterfall. Why did no longer you carry them in the wintry climate? they are not almost as hardy as koi and individuals nonetheless carry koi indoors! Elizabeth, that instruct you think basically iced over it for minutes, no longer hours, or maybe days, there's a huge difference.

I don't think so! And if they did we would have hit upon the technology to prolong life by deep freezing!
There are very few life forms which can tolerate freeze thaw cycles but as far as I am aware, fish are not one of those. However, there are some arctic fish that have special proteins in their blood which will lower the freezing point sufficiently so that they do not freeze even under ice cap conditions, but then that is not really freezing and thawing

I had a beta that came back to life after being "frozen" I mean the water wasn't solid or anything it just got real cold one night and when i woke up he was on the bottom of the tank. I put him in warm water and he came to in a few minutes.

When I cull my 55 gal. tank I put the culls in a glass or bowl of water and put them in the freezer. This is kinder than flushing live fish down the toliet. The fish will not come back to life.

Would depend on the amount of time frozen IMO. Can't say how many times I've been icefishing and instead of snapping the trouts neck like normal I'd just toss them on the ice. You get home later that day toss the frozen fish in the sink to thaw, come back 30m later and they are swimming around.
