Haven't had experience, but know people who had. The Swordtail population
while positively explode unless you have some type of predator. But as
tropical fish go, I had a Geophagus (old scientific name, new one is "Satan"
something) and he did fine.

I have not had time to go get fish for a new pond. So, I put in some baby
swords from a tank in the house. I do not plan to over winter but was
wondering any one had any luck with tropical fish in the summer in the
their
ponds. Will they eat the bugs in the pond? I live in central Illinois.

just want some feedback.
