I will be returning to Cordoba again to retire once and for all. I touched on it briefly in another thread but it was buried in a lot of other subject matter so here goes. Mexico does not have the resources to get power lines back up after a major disruption such as an earthquake or a mudslide which is common in our area. There have been six earthquakes in the past year near us, one in 1985 was really strong. After a major earthquake I would anticipate it taking months to restore power to remote areas such as the one that I live in so Koi are out as they require constant filtering of the water. I have seen many posts about fish dying and the heartbreak this brings so I'm looking at goldfish as they are lower maintenance as far as their oxygen and filtration needs.
How long, given adequate plants in the pond, can they live without a pump, filter or falls? Do they need these things at all? We get a lot of rain and the temperatures are as shown below.
