What's the minimum salary for a Gar & Ararpima outdoor pond in New York City?

This is a really tough question to answer. For me running a 200gal, 90 gal, and 20 gal outside in an unheated facility costed me around 300$ a month

Is the pond already there? Or the enclosure?
that will be the biggest cost. putting those in. You can save some money by putting the pond in yourself but that cost more time.

from scratch I would think 10 K and up if there was nothing to start with. (just the build)
Monthly running costs would be anywhere from 50 bux ( about the cost of a hot tub) to 300 + bux depending on electric pond/structure size and such.

You can save alot if you don't heat it, but then you are limited to what you stock, and the time you can enjoy it.
Would also save some on food.
Fish eat less when it's cold since their metabolism slows down.

PS:
Post this over on the pond section those guys know a ton about indoor and out door ponds.
the pit falls and the making it great.

It's not salary it's priorities.

Do you want to travel?
Do you want a nice house?
Do you want a nice car?
Do you spend money going out to eat?
Nice clothes?
Do you save for retirement?

It's amazing how much you can spend on a certain hobby if you answer "no" to most of those questions.

That's what I tell people about my hobbies.
The ask how I can afford this or that.....
I answer back "I don't drive that 800.00 a month car like you do."
I also don't drive junk.

I am guilty of the nice house/car ( no payment on either) and retirement thingy.
No, on the rest though.
