my future mother-in-law as a pond in her back yard that is about 200gallons. she currently has some koi and some gold fish in there. she lets everything overwinter in the tank and seems to have success. i was wondering any other fish she could keep that would over winter? we live in Iowa and have really cold winters.
i was also wondering about something to eat algae, like a snail. could she keep snails over the winter? will she have to worry about them reproducing too much?
any other tips would be great, we both don't know too much about pound fish, i really only know about sa cichlids.
not to rush but any help as soon as possible would be great cause i want to get her something for her pond for mothers day. thanks all.
