I asked the same question (different area). I would guess anything that thrives in local ponds so long as you can supply a food source?

What are your winter low temps? For color and size, it's hard to beat koi and goldfish. Guppies, mollies, swordtails, some danios, texas cichlid and any number of native fish could live in your pond if the low water temp never goes below 50. If your temps stay warmer than that, include Central American cichlids.
