What to put in my new pond?

snakeman, many people successfully keep rtc and tiger shovelnoses out doors during winter, they are catfish and do require some heat but you can allow the tempreture to drop to abuot 5 degrees during the winter.

eastern long neck turtle or other turtle species depending on size of your pond etc..
I'd love to keep and breed turtles maybe down the track I will.

It will probably be to small for turtles and native fish, I'm with christo, let the local frogs move in, it wont take long.
Or if you know anyone in the area with frogs, just grab a lump of spawn from them and let the taddies grow.
This what I've done with mine, it's mad when the rain starts in the warmer weather and all the frog come out chirping

What if it drops below that?, bit of a waste of money for such a easy fish to care for in a TANK.

How big a tank were you supposing a rtc or tsn would need?

get a red tail cat or a tiger shovelnose or if you wanted to heat it grab a nice big arowana!

definatley dont get a red tail cat those things are monster fish that need huge ponds. they get to about 5-6 feet long
