I have been surprised this year by seeing Jordanella in an above ground stock tank that I thought I clear all of the juveniles out of... and this is a 100 gallon rubbermaid style above ground stock tank... and here in Georgia is froze over solid at least once for a few days in the winter... of course I think it was much warmer at the bottom.
Yes, If the tote is on the ground the radiant heat from the ground keeps the water at the bottom warmer but I would guess it's still pretty cold. I know they can handle water in the low 60's here in Florida but I doubt they can handle getting close to freezing temps. I am interested to hear from anyone who has had them winter over and has temperature data.

I live north of Lakeland fl In feb 2012 we had a 22 degree night. I have a 100 gallon stock tank I use for water plants. It had skim ice on it. In April there were 3 adult flagfish and 2 juveniles in that tank when I emptied it. I don't know how many we're in there before the freeze.
I think I only put 3 in there.
