What would you put in this?

[jaxy4]

It has to be able to survive Illinois' winters and summers

I couldnt tell you the dimensions but maybe some of you can eyeball it

about the nothing will live through the winter if it is not deep enough unless you have a heater. but koi would be the best choice but remember if it freezes all the way through so will the fish lol

It doesnt have to survive the winter, it can always come inside and wait for spring in a cozy tank staying outside year long would be great though

I was just hoping there was something other than koi to keep in it, so I can convince my uncle of keeping it

well if the fish come inside in the winter, why not go with cichlids? hardier types anyways, a few oscars/red devil/convicts/firemouth just to name a few

I use to stock out smaller pond with platies, mollies, guppies.. whatever caught my attention and bred like mice... they did very well and I'de bring them in and cull them every fall, so by spring I had a nice group to put back in. Lots of color and action.. and if the local critters ate them enough usually survived to re-populate or they where cheap to re-stock ( petsmarts 1$ per fish sales ect..)

I know people here who let there koi ponds freeze completely. Koi inside. There on yr 3 with the same 3 koi. They just come back to life after unthawing lol

I like the bigger cichlid idea!
Im hoping he will like whatever fish gets put in there enough to make him want to build a nice tank in the basement. More for me than him
