Any luck?

Take your night temps. I bet if you made a make shift greenhouse over the pond it would work wonders. If i was in hawaii I would have a pond full of tropicals.

I think 10"+ cichla would be fine in summer, but in winter when it gets 50 degrees or so, I wouldn't.
Good luck

You can always heat it, it might cost "chedda" though as Gansgter says.

I would definitely heat it and put a greenhouse or insulated shack around it to save on heating costs

Greenhouse and solar powered heaters..
