King gold Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Good afternoon everyone! I am 10 yrs old. I am new to this and have been learning as much as I can about fish. I currently have been maintaining an indoor 10 gallon tank with one betta fish in it. I want to build an outdoor pond from a 50 or 100 gallon used Rubbermaid stock tank. I have one question. What is the best fish, or fishes, that would do well in an ourdoor fresh water pond? I also intend on adding some plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Guppies, Mollies, Platys, and other livebearers These are all great community fish that will breed like crazy, and I'm sure you'll have a ton of fun doing it. Some cherry shrimp will also make a great addition with snails too. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 @King gold Start with fancy goldfish Comets, Sarasa, and Shubunkins they’re reasonably inexpensive, tough as nails, and breed easily once mature and very interactive. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 When I had asked this question in the 'Summer Tubbing' thread, Cory replied and suggested rice fish. I was skeptical, but I tried rice fish despite my doubts, and what do you know, it turns out that rice fish are one of the toughest, easiest, most prolific pond fish I have ever kept.
