Pond jenatir

Umm we have this lovely pond and can I put pleco in it it South Africa by the way so it can 23°c at day and 16°c at night and in winters it can be 10°c so would that be fine for a pleco also there is koi in there

Check temp range on here -

But I don't think it'll be warm enough at night and especially during the winter.

How big is the pond? If it's big enough and you can find a cool water species, it should retain heat.

Was that all on sentence!?

I second the motion of it not being warm enough. If you could afford a heater for that pond, I guess it could work.

Ok thank so do you know any algae eater that would work for a koi pond

 

[AilyNC]

Pond loach can handle low temp but Koi & Goldfish will eat algae too. Make sure you don't overfeed & that'll help reduce algae growth.

So the koi pond pond at the school as lots of tadpole like millions do you know what will eat them or get rid of them

Just leave the tadpoles alone. Frogs are endangered all around the world so if you have a happy pr of frogs and they breed, let them. In a few months the tadpoles will metamorphous and leave the pond. In the mean time they will eat algae in the pond.
