I've seen them make clamps out of PVC by cutting a slit in a short piece of pipe. They almost look like clothespins.
This morning I saw two fish swimming around in circles for a few seconds as if they were maybe interested in mating. I was thinking about throwing in some flower pots or something for them to nest in and hoping for the best. I also got 5 clarifiers running on the pool and one on the goldfish.
I am wondering if I build the domes over the pools like in the book if I will be able to squeak by and have fish outside all year long. I just looked up our weather http://www.desertusa.com/Cities/ca/trona.html and compared it with the weather in the book http://cityinfo.local.com/city-information/Kutztown-PA-weather and we are a good deal warmer than Krutztown and the book was claiming a 9 month growing season with the domes. I'm thinking that if I do a good job on the domes I might be able to squeak by while keeping my fish out doors year around. I'll probably take some inside this winter just to be safe and see what happens with the rest.
