Florida pond stocking

[RobE]

HI guys i have 6'x4'x2.5' pond that i have a 11" florida gar in. I was looking for some suggestions on what else i could put in there. I live in the tampa area but the pond got down to 52 deg this winter but only for like a week. Whater is in there will have to stay out there all year. Thanks in advance

I had thought about the ocells but they would have make it through winter. But i dont think its quite big enough for a lmb.
