Dougstark Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Seen one at the butterfly house in Thames but they only had small fish like guppies and sword fish. It was in the green house with butterflies. http://www.butterfly.co.nz/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 you could extend the season of an outdoor pond by using coiled alkathene on a roof and pumping the water thru it to heat it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a pleco in there, just angelfish and livebearers. I'm not sure if it has any heating or just from the ambient temperature with the steam pipes that heat the glasshouse.

waterlogged Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 hey don't know if anyone has suggeted this but i know someone who has a raised outdoor pond for his red eared sliders which has a small window on the fron so you can see them under the water. this could work. and if you had a sun room or just a sunny room would go well in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
