I believe you can put ghost shrimp in an out door pond
I remember that because I got crap once for having a bucket of crayfish... I always thought you killed them by boiling then dunking in melted butter![/QUOTE]
catching crayfish and taking them home in a bucket is not illegal, you just need a fishing liscence to do so, however releasing them into another water source is
nishikigoi is the only way.....that is why i am koi kichi( koi kichi means koi crazy)
my white clouds don't seem to mind the outdoor take i setup at all so far and it's been a cold winter this year...
i had a platy survive once
10-12" deep of water, it's a 20G tank, and no its not heated but isn't directly outside the tank is in my shed so its 'sheltered' although again the tank and shed are not heated...
also my grandmother has an outdoor pond with feeder gold fish, they live outdoor all year round with no problems (they just hang out at the bottom during winter)... only issue for them are the racoons and occasional heron
Plecos perhaps. They are common pond fish
I've also had regular white clouds survive over Vancouver winter under ice in a balcony container pond. However, I am sure they were close to their limit. A few degrees below 0 is probably ok but any more is probably not. The golden variety however didn't make it. I have a new container now (as the strata where I live required everyone to remove items from their balcony for leaky condo repairs 2 years ago) and will put rosy minnows and white clouds in there again.
