Gehajake, nope... no ice here! LOL! We do get hot and dry. So far, the pond is holding up great with the heat, but we haven't seen the worst of it yet. We'll see how it looks after 2 weeks of no rain and 95+ temps.

That said, I bought some fathead minnows the other day and introduced them to the pond properly. I think close to half of them died right away. The pond was 95 degrees! Maybe that's just too much for new little fish even if you work them up to the right temp gradually.
