I was wanting to make myself a heated betta pond but upon further research I'm afraid that the betta fry would not survive with the fluctuations in temp. Would sparkling gouramis work? I would like to chose a small and tropical species. Any recommendations? in other words I do not want the typical pond fish (I already have tons of those and I would like to broaden my horizons). The pond will most likely be next to my chicken coop where there is lots of shade so temps may get a little cooler than usual at night. Also, by "small" i mean something that can be housed in ten gallons or less. The pond should be anywhere from 50 to 75 gallons but I still want to be able to display the best of the breeding stock inside my indoor aquariums where my guests and family can see them!
