Hey,
This may sound really ridiculous, but my mother and I were at the LFS the other day looking for some fish for my mothers new around 200 gallon pond. I've been keeping aquariums for awhile now but haven't a clue about anything with ponds. While in the fish store my mother saw a giant gourami. She became very attached to this fish and was looking into one for her pond. Though I know there not coldwater fish, is there any way possible to keep them in a pond? Is there like some way to keep them inside during the winter (illinois) or some kind kind of really powerful heater that will allow this fish to live in the pond? I really don't know the first thing of ponds so if there is any way possible to keep one of these in an outdoor pond plz tell me.
Thanks
