GBrymer Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) I’m located in North Florida with a 300 gallon pond with 5 goldfish, 6 plus corydoras and two very large common plecos. During the summer the water temps are near 95 and during our coldest the water temp is near 45-50. During the winter the plecos and corys make it through with the help of two 4” PVC pipes with heaters in the pond. Today I added a mature Firemouth Cichlid to the mix. It was a rehome from a coworker(science teacher). My question is how do you think the Firemouth will do in the winter? For perspective I’ve caught thriving Oscars in ponds in my area.

Beau Burkhalter Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) I’ve heard that they have over wintered in Washington state without heaters and I’m gonna try it this winter in mid Alabama… Edited August 20, 2022 by Beau Burkhalter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
