Other fish than Gold or Koi in Pond?
Besides the usual carp family of Goldfish and Koi, what other types of fish
have been successfully kept in an outdoor pond?
I would *really* like to try something like guppies but I jus' plain don't
know what would happen. I know guppies (and assorted tropicals) like
warmer water and will probably either die or have to be fished out (HA!)
come winter. (I currently just have four of the $0.12 feeder gold fish at
about 2-3 inches each and the assorted California Toad and occasional
Pacific Tree Frog; no tadpoles, dammit...)
Air temps range in the upper 90s to 110-ish in summer here. Water temp,
well, I wish I knew. The thermometer got broken... But it goes pretty
warm. Still waitin' for the WH to multiply enough to shade the thing.
