No no no lmao. I live on a hill so you have to go down a couple hills to get to the ponds so i said below my house.

Probably freshwater. I'm not completely sure yet and I haven't even made the tank so I got time to figure it out lol.
Chinese hi fin sharks grow really big and need a lot of algae. They eat almost all algae. Plecos can survive in a pond ?
Provided the pond is heated then yes, they can survive if not I'm sure they wouldn't mind being moved back in for the winter lol.
The heaters for ponds are only to make sure the whole surface of the pond doesn't freeze. It doesn't actually heat up the whole pond. But my pond gets up to the 80-83 in summer!! Just from the suns heat!
I'm 13, male and I'm new to fish. I hope to learn a lot and start a successful aquarium and become an aquarist. I enjoy baseball (preferably Jay Bruce), pets, and video games. I currently own a 1 gallon with a healthy platy named Gunther. I had 2 goldfish, Biff (my little brother's) and Olaf. I also had 2 other platy, Shortfry (Also my little brother's), and my older brother's which had no name.
I'm hoping to soon get a 5 gal with 2 guppies, 1 platy, 1 molly, and an algae eater. That's all. Bye!
Welcome to the forum!
You say that you have a 1 gallon with a platy, are the goldfish in that same 1 gallon?
That's a lot of fish for 1 gallon, how long have they been in there? A single Goldfish alone requires 30+ gallons to itself because of how much waste they produce, and a platy should be in a minimum of 20 gallons because of it's activity level. Not trying to dog on you but I think you need to rethink your stocking and either upgrade or rehome everyone. A betta (if you add a heater) is really the only option fish-wise you have for something that size, though you could have a few shrimp or snails too.
A started fish keeping with my dad when I was 5, and got my own tank at 8, but really got into it when I was 10, I'm 23 now and have learned A LOT the hard way in that time, and one of my biggest lessons was overstocking like that. I once had 2 goldfish I won at the fair in a 1 gallon bowl, they did okay when I have them daily water changes, but then one weekend I went away and came back to them both dead. That's when I started doing my research on fish and found out the space goldfish really need..OOPS!
Oh man.... I guess I need to re-evaluate. -hides in corner- I'm not really interested in koi because the fugly cats will try to grab them. I could put a net over it but I just don't think it's worth the look :/
I have some stupid neighbors cat stalking my koi/goldfish but they have never got to get one. As long as the pond is at least 1.5-2 ft deep, the fish will be fine. Unless the cat is brave enough to swim in the water or has really long arms.
My neighbor is a cat lady. I'm sure one of the cats will be bold enough haha.
I'm on the app, I have to get on the computer to delete. Brb. I was thinking something like an oxydoras Niger but I think they need heat too -.-
All you do is swipe to the side and click delete

I'm pretty sure all plecs are tropical fish and need temps at least 70.
Ya all the smaller ones do. But my aunt has a 15" common pleco in her pond
Pennsylvania so its colder that idk what in the winter and hotter the than hades in the summer
