what will survive in my pond?

[candidpets]

my pond in ontario here insulated and heated keeps a steady temp at 75

i added just some jewels convicts swords mollies guppies minnows


cheap stuff lots lots of plants hide drift wood

pond is 6 foot long 4 wide and 2 high


will livebearers survive you think enough to keep reproducing?

also the water will turn soft with the rain

lots of drift wood and lava rocks

has anyone tried this before? let me know the results, i did it with fish that arent expensive that i bred myself in case it backfires

lots of plants in there

biggest fish is a 5 inch jewel

Larger livebeareers will likely live,don't expect many fry to survive tho.
Having a refugium may help as well.
Also have a couple areas so densely planted that only baby fish can get into it.

Draining a little shouldn't hurt

Possibly ,if it's to complicated just replace with nontoxic pillowcases ill of lava rocks
