So i have a 150-190 gallon pond in my backyard, that i built this summer. I stocked it with about 15 adult guppies, and 1 RES turtle. Now my pond has about 8-10 adult guppies, and about 50 1-2 month old juvaniles, and 2 RES turtles (one just showed up). The juvanile guppies are just starting to develop their bright colors, and some of them are red while others are yellow and black. I also have a 29 gallon Guppy Fry grow out tank in my bedroom with about 50 newborn guppies that i caught in the pond (there are still more new born ones out there though). ANY WAYS My question is do you all think it is possible that my guppies will weather the winter? I live in San Jose California (South San Francisco Bay Area) Here is an example of my climate (this data was taken from the weather man who lives 3 houses down from me (at his house) from 2005-2006 so it is very accurate.
The Temperatures (based on daily highs)
Number of Days in the 100's = 6; 90's = 45 ; 80's = 76 ; 70's = 91;
60's =104; 50's = 43; 40's = 0
Keep in mind that those are highs, and at night it gets lower. On average however, lows are in the mid to lower 40s at night. Only occasionally like maybe 3 or 4 nights out of the year will it drop bellow 35.
