Looking for someone to adopt a 16" black FW shark. It has been raised on goldfish food.

Can they survive in cold water? That would be cool in a gold fish pond, If they can survive the winters i'll take it.

Depending on the size of your goldfish pond, would a heater be fesible?
I'm sure the shark would love you for it. It needs a home. All you would need then is "INTERVENTION!!!!!! Remember the motto Bruce, Fish are friends, not food."

No I sure don't. A friend of mine in Mobile owns it. It is a fresh water shark they sell in LFS. It just decided to get really large.

Warming a pond on the winter is totally ridiculous, i checked into it years ago. The watts of power to warm something large with no cover is totally absurd in the cost.

Just how large is this pond? We have'nt been there.
We have a 100 gal pond with a 30 gal cascade, that on only extremely cold nights, we put motor oil on the surface and burn it all night. Seems to do the job and the fish are real shiny the dext day too.

Just kidding with you man, we really use diesel.

I have heard of the wattage needed to warm an outside pond in the winter and it is unreal. Several people have came up with ways to heat one but there power bill was ungodly during the winter months. If you think halides cost alot to run, try running a 10,000 watt bar heater for a pond.
