I have a small goldfish pond in my backyard in central Florida (zone 9). I
have Ryukins, Koi, and Shabunkins. I know the koi will be fine in the Winter
(water temp probably won't get below about 40-45F at the coldest)... but what
about the ryukins and the shabunkins? Anything special I need to do for them?

Nothing special is needed. Mine stay out all winter and I'm in TN, north of
you.

Just keep a hole in the ice if ice forms on your pond's surface. This allows
any gasses to escape. And make sure you protect them from herons and other
predators outside.

Does it get cold enough in central FL for ice to form?
