Setting up new pond

[Fishyman6611]

@Aquarium Co-op I am setting up a pond 125 Gal for 4 goldfish, I also have Neon Swordtails, 4". Can I add them or what would go with the gold?

In a pond I would definitely do goldfish. I wouldn’t do swordtails because they like hotter temps than goldfish and if you were considering keeping hem outside all year around I would definitely say no. It just depends where you live but I’m still against goldfish and swordtails together.

I have had Sword Tails in my outside 35g pond for over 6 mos.. The goldfish haven't bothered them. I am in California and the last 2 weeks temps have been in the 60's  in the day and low 50's at night. I have just moved them to my 300g pond and expect that the quantity will be enough to buffer the lower temps. I am also thinking of adding a pleco to the pond. The temps in the plecos current 40 g tank has been lowered to the low 60's with no problems.
