With spring not too far away (I've seen the birds gathering nesting material so it can't be that far off!) my thoughts have turned to the garden. I've been gifted (well, removed from a skip with permission) 2 x 80l tubs so thought I'd add to my 4 existing ponds with a couple of container ponds which can house fish safely out of reach of the heron. Initially, I was thinking Medaka but having read a few threads on here I'm rather tempted by the Aphanius mento or paradise fish. One tub is black so I think I'll stick with medaka for visibility, but the other is green which I thought may be better for seeing the killifish/paradise fish. Ideally, I'd need a fish which can stay out all year as tank space indoors is limited to tanks of 40cm x 30cm or smaller, though this may be suitable to raise youngsters it's not going to work for housing fish over winter.
Would an 80l be enough for either of these (my lfs can source the aphanius) or is it pushing it with the territory size?
