SO I GOT A 450G FOUNTAIN POND! Haha sorry caps
. So I am super excited about this new pond and I want to stock it with some semi large cichlids. The pond is circular and will be equipped with a de-icer and a pond filter. I will be using sand substrate and the bottom will be have a few rocks but not too many. The fish i will be getting will be jueveniles. So I have two questions:1) Will the de-icer work as a heater or will it only work for de-icing? 2) How long will it take for these fish to grow to 8inches? Plz give me a time for each fish. Also tell me anything about my stocking if i should add or remove some fish. Now I'm not exactly sure if this pond is 450 gallons I will take measurements tommorrow and post on here for now I am lowballing and saying 450g. So here is the stock:
-(2) Jaguar Cichlids
-(2) Midas/Red Devils
-(3) Oscars
-(2) Plecostomus to minimize maitenence
I tried to go a little less with the stocking because of the shape of the pond and i know there will be aggression issues. Tell me what you think please
