new friend for widow

[terri]

hi everybody,
i posted a thread earlier in the week about losing my male oscar, Guy. his widow is still looking for him and has lost her appetite. now,,,i have a Koi in a smaller tank and he is too big for Rosco to eat (we pulled him from our shallow fountain outside so he wouldnt get 3 feet of snow on top of him...)~therein lies the question. i know almost nothing about Koi,,,can they live in a tropical environment or are they strictly cold water? i also have his fountainmate, a lionshead goldfish, that is also pretty big, how about him in the warmer water? the plec wont bother
them, right? he's longer than my forearm but docile (so far).
thanks!
terri

Hmm.. TBH I wouldn't risk it with either of them. They are big fish, and you wouldn't want something like that to die because it was in warmer water than it should be in.

well poop.
i guess the lady will just have to adjust...
maybe i'll buy her some treats to snack on to reinterest her...
thanks for your input!
