Are there any other types of fish besides goldfish and Koi that can survive in an outdoor pond in a temperate climate over the winter? I have been doing some research and am specifically interested in these species. I am located in Nova Scotia, Canada.
1. Rosy red minnows- Have heard you can get them as feeder fish
2. weather loach- Have hear they can survive in the wild in Illinois which probably isn't much different then our climate.
3. White Cloud mountain Minnow- Have heard they can survive 5 degree temperature, have heard people in New York have successfully overwintered them.
4.Chinese high Fin banded Shark- I have heard they are hardy to climate zone 4 and nova scotia is climate zone 5-6 i beleive.
5. Paradise Fish- Have heard they do well in outdoor ponds year round in many parts of Europe.
6. Red Claw Crayfish- I am not sure if you can get louisiana red claw swamp crayfish here but i have heard that people can keep them in outdoor ponds in maine.
