Default Pond

They have these ponds for your yard at sams, and Atwoods, you know what I'm talking about? The ones with the waterfall?

Well, I was wondering, would it be okay to put some goldfish, mabye koi or something, in the pond?

You really need a big pond for goldfish, and even bigger for koi (think 3 ft deep by 6ft by 4ft).

What you can do is put livebearers in there during the summer months, or other fish like barbs, and bring them in during the cooler months.

That sounds cool. Like the second picture, with out the water spray thingy on the second level, and the first level looks more like the second level than it does in that picture, I'll see if I can get a good picture and post it.

Lots of tropicals can be kept outside in warmer weather and you would be amazed at the growth, color and vibrancy when you bring them back in.

So long as it gets warm enough, those mollies could easily go out in a container garden -- just be sure you have room for ALL of them when it's time to bring them back in! With all that fresh air, live plants (you can throw some anacharis or other cheap, easy plants or you could get fancy with some more pond appropriate plants) and free, live food they'll go forth and multiply.
