WE ARE REMODELING
Our website lacked a webmaster and was lost during the disarray of COVID. We are rebuilding it. The forum bulletin board is ready to go with an updated version that will now also work on phones! Soon, we will proceed to install the other pages and features, with plans to modernize the site. Welcome back!

NOTE: We had to restore data from a very old 6/20/2017 backup version of our database. So if you opened your account after that date, it will be missing and you will need to create a new account.

Fish for summer pond

Post by JoanneDisFan »

I've got a small pond that I'm setting up for the summer. I'm putting some plants out there was thinking of what fish to add. Ideally, something that could handle the warm weather and breed. I was thinking a livebearer of some kind. Any suggestions?

I've had some success with swords, platies, variatus and mollies. Go for it. Denny

Would danios work outdoors?
I was thinking about some ponds too.

I would think most danios would do well. They are all pretty hardy and able to take temperature changes. They may not do too well in the breeding department, however. Denny
