    Default what will live outside?

    I'm putting in a pond and would like to know what kinds of fish (other then koi or gold fish) can live in a pond year round.

    Any info would be great!

    thanx for the tips.

    I've heard that the common guppie will winter over but the more fancy one are not as hardy... but I might try if I end up with some extras this summer.

    Neither of these will survive outdoors year round.

    agreed, clouds won't survive cold winter water (below 5 degree C) for long.

    Just cleaned out & re-setup my 90g cube tank outside for irrigating Felicia's Blueberry patch.

    Have some Gambusia mosquito fish & Butterfly Koi in there.

    Love those Butterfly Koi with their long flowing fins & tails. Great metallic colours too.
