Suitable fish for outdoor pond (62-71 degrees)
Hi,
Apart from Koi and Goldfish, what other fish can I keep in an outdoor pond that can handle the water temperatures at least 9 months of the year? I live in Sydney, and in summer, the water temperature is typically ~71 degrees. In winter, the water temperature is ~62 degrees. The pond I am building to keep them in will be about 450 gallons and 3.5 feet deep. Han. |

I suspect Cyclids would do fine.

If you could keep it the winter at about 68-70....cichlids, and most
tropicals for that matter would do fine (just stay away from angels and discus types that like their water in the high 80s).... I keep my africans at 72-74 for most of the year, and they are breeding like cichlids....which is almost as slow as rabbits.... bk wrote: I suspect Cyclids would do fine.
