firenzenz Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I have a concrete pond outside 150ltrs more or less. Has pump. 6yr old daughter who has claimed this as her own had raised guppies, leopardfish and platys during summer. She is now fixated by frogs after green bell arrived in it a week or so ago. living in Auckland, semi rural, pond gets what ever sun there is all day, frost not an issue. what's going to happen if we put some golden bells in there over Winter? and what can I feed ? Happy to furnish with stones, plants etc, and some netting over top. But even if they are cheap seems little point in doing if not a goer. Last winter we had some comets in there and recall the coldest it got was 11 degrees. ???? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 if they are well fed they will survive the winter they will probably hibernate so plants all around the pond would be a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 no point in doing it now,wait till spring and put them out there,if you have a wild one already there are bound to be more that will turnup as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching your child doing something they enjoy is precious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
