Due to popular demand I'm sending out my flameback bleeding hearts, hopefully they do well.

I'm also sending my girardinus metallicus out just because I want more and I know I'll get more.

Huh meet looking lil fish, never heard of a girardinus metallicus before but from what lil I've seen they do look nice. Are they another live bearer?

Nice looking fish. I have not seen those before.

So far I don’t have any summer tubs/ponds set up for breeding. I was going to put my giant danios out in the pond again, but with new koi goin in I decided against it. And my koi won’t spawn for at least another year or more. Too young.

I have plants outside....does that count? Lol
 
White Clouds! Cause we are still looking at 58F for water temps here...

Summer has been cancelled in Manitoba. We had two consecutive nights of frost a week or so ago; temps are still as low as 36F some nights.

I have Fathead Minnows living in the inground pond, which are quite capable of surviving beneath ice. But my container "ponds" contain only Ameca splendens and Jordanella floridae, both of which I put out during the short-lived warm blip when water temperatures were around 60-65F. Currently, it's at 44F. I have no idea how they are doing, hard to tell with the thick plants in there. I saw a live moving fish dart past this morning, so...fingers crossed.

yes they are a livebearer
I just want more, and I know they're going to produce fry so I thought I'd throw mine out there

The only species that I can withstand our summer heat are the ones listed below

Other set of grandparents is letting me set up ponds in their backyard, so I'm probably gonna be getting white clouds and cherry barbs, along with putting out my dumbo mosaic guppy line
