I'm in the Toronto area (I think this equates weather wise to Michigan, near

They would be a lot easier. Africans require water chemistry unique to
lake Malawi (?), very high pH and tropical.

You'll have to pull them out, and put them inside when the temp drops.

From my experience, with an Texas Cichlid in an aquarium, they are very
prolific.
