Hey guys I am contemplating setting up a 12' intex pool as a pond for my fish. The problem is I live in PA and winter can be pretty cold. Is there any way I can heat in threw the winter. I am thinking maybe a greenhouse sorta thing over it with insulation around it? I would use it for mostly cichlids and catfish. Any help appreciated!

I would, as you stated insulate the pool, and place it inside the greenhouse. In addition I would recommend fabricating a lid to help retain heat, and depending on the water temp you would like to maintain over the cold months consider heating the greenhouse.
