Cool water stocking brainstorm

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Try to get temp. readings of the water...

That will determin stock list, but I would think and fish w/a decent body mass could live in the deeper depth during cold spells.

I had a Florida Gar, 2 O's, a pair of convicts, Wood Cat, and Striped Rafael livng for years in an unheated basement tank. The water was in the mid to upper 60's at times. The only "effects" on them were lowered metabolizm and less activity.
 
Throw in like 10x Arapaima Gigas, cichla, Convict cichlids...
 
If theres no rush wy not trow in a cuple pair of convics and see how they do and then use them as guideline to ather fish with similar temp recuaraments
 
The largest thing you can really stock in a pond like that would a sturgeon or a high fin-shark. The only way you can really keep tropicals in a pond is to heat it
