Is it possible to make a Cichlid Pond?

Question

Would you need a REALLY BIG HEATER? Thats what I thought .

Answer 1

it's possible in africa.

Answer 2

its possible but i would keep the cichlids in a tank when they are small then switch them to the pond when it is done

Answer 3

Yes of course it's possible.  What makes a pond for cichlids, and assuming you mean Africans, any different then any other pond really?  About the only differences might be the water chemistry really.  Ok so maybe a Koi pond, you don't need a heater as these are cold water fish, but still, any tropical pond, maybe that's the better term, is going to need to be heated in some way.  I don't think you'd really need to specify a cichlid pond, since cichlid doesn't differentiate between SA, CA or African.

Answer 4
