Pond Stocking

[Nils]

Ok good lol! I thought for a minute there that you meant 40 degrees celcius and was thinking that whoever wrote that must be seriously hooked on LSD. Any pics?

Here's the pond and a few mosquito fish pics. The mosquito fish love it, but will not stop moving.

Awesome! It looks great! I'm sure the fish enjoy it!

Thanks, the mosquito fish are in heaven with no predators, lots of food, lots of space, and lots of hiding places. I'm not so sure about the sunfish though, only the smallest comes into the open. I haven't seen the other 2 yet.

Sweet! I don't know about this but doesn't it get way too warm for goldfish in the summer? I have no idea though, but you might want to look into a water chiller, as long as the other fish are tolerant of the temperatures.

Cool!!

Goldies are kept outdoors here in the southeast year round.

Two of our neighbors have goldfish ponds and the fish do fine without a chiller, as long as there is a little shade they will be fine and my pond is 3' at the deepest so it should be pretty cool along with water plants for shade as well and rocks.

Cool!!

Thanks Caleb, one of the Golden white clouds has a fatter body so I am hoping its a female. Fingers crossed, maybe babies in the future.

Common goldfish are extremely resilient. Mine do fine even in water up to 85F during the day. No chiller required.

I found a baby mosquito fish maybe 1/6" and we are missing one white cloud and a few mosquito fish, other than that the pond is great. Oh and one of the white clouds is pregnant so I am going to catch her and put her in a 10g so the fry are safe.

I would just leave her be and the fry that survive will be very hardy.
