are there any fish other than goldfish or koi fish or any other common pond fish capable of living in a pond in so cal? i do have some male endlers or wild guppies in there already, they have been doing fine and reproducing for a year now. i dont know if fancy guppies will be the same, i was thinking of adding some fancy guppies in, but im not sure if they will surivive.
any other fish pond proof?

well, its only about 200 gallons, its mostly for growing lilies and other aquatic plants, it is filtered with a home made filter, so far i only have a couple of fancy goldfish, alot of rosy reds or fathead minnows, and guppies. as for any natives, i really suck at fishing..........
i was thinking maybe some white cloud minnows or danios, similar types of small fish like that.

i have a pleco in my pond, he will be coming in during the winter but as long as its above 55 degrees hell be fine. Mines only 90 gallons but he loves it. 16 inches and he eats the crap outta the algae and driftwood i love him.
mines 1180gal (in socal) i got atleast a dozen green sunnies, two black bullheads, 2 bluegill, 2 koi, 6 goldfish, 4-6fatheads, 1 bullfrog, and 2 gambusia (they just dont get eaten)
Dojo loach are coldwater fish...Texas cichlids should live in Socal OK...May have been mentioned, I think Danio's can tolerate some cooler waters...

Yeah too small for natives except things like killiefish, your thinking in the right direction.

not true...ur saying its OK to keep sunnies in a 50-75 gallon aquarium butnot a 200 gallon pond?
as long as its filtered, you can have basicly anything you want....except large active natives like bass, pike, etc...

Sorry I guess I should said more. Sunnies would work but thought he was more inclined to smaller fish (that he had) and not wanting to get them eaten or abused
