I have been thinking about adding a school of WCMM's to my outdoor pond. My concern is that the fish are listed as being tolerant of temps down to 45F. The problem is that in the winter here in Georgia, the water temp can get into the low 30's. Would that kill the WCMMs?
WCMM's in a pond?

- Start date
Probably. Besides freezing water temperature, you also have to consider what fish-eating birds will think of a bunch of colorful little bite-sized fish in a small pond.
if you got a pond heater it might be feasible IMO..... and I know it doesn't freeze hard in georgia so they will probably survive.
then by all means add them.... the weather in georgia pretty accurately matches the subtropical climate of their native southern chinese and vitenamese mountian streams and lakes.... but id run a heater in the winter just to be safe.
