I just finished my first pond, it is quite small maybe 60 gallons, but I was hoping to be able to get some fish for it, and the most practical fish I could decide on was a mosquito fish. They eat mosquitoes and they are a kind of fish that I have gained an appreciation for their beauty.
Does anyone have any experience with them? They seem relatively easy to care for, but I want to make sure my pond meets requirements.
It is about 18"- 2' deep at its lowest point and about 9" deep at all other points. But I want to be sure that is deep enough for them to survive a "freezing winter" as i live in Massachusetts. Also, is it possible to heat a pond? Or is that not a good idea?
