Hi
pat home I have a small little fountain that holds roughly 70litres of water and is crazy full of aalgae any ideas for a hardy fish that will clear the water and will be able to stand high temps(30-40 unlikely 40) but can also take the Coll temps around 20degrees Celsius . A fish that doesn't mind a bit of ammonium in the water would be pprefer any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
thanks very much SirReptile :drool:

For all us yanks: 18 gallon pond that can take temperatures from 68 degrees F to 104 degrees F. The temperature range makes it almost impossible. Most fish can't tolerate temperatures above 95 degrees F (35 degrees C) for prolonged periods of time. Adding ammonia or ammonium into the equation eliminates keeping fish alive. No can do. LOL!

I keep Gymnogeophagus and Australoheros cichlids in my pond April thru Oct, temps range from lows around 45'F in spring and fall, to temps in the high 80s low 90s in July and August. The only reason I take them out in winter, is the pond freezes solid.


both species spawn in summer
