On the coast I did a landscaping make over on a yard for a client. There was a birdbath sunk to the rim in the ground with some filthy water in it. When I pulled it out and dumped it, a half dozen little fish spilled onto the ground. They were carp. Dull brown carp. My wife scooped them up and put them in a bucket to save their lives.
This 'plan' grew legs and developed into a part of our landscaping. She always wanted a water feature. I put an old fibreglass satellite dish in the ground, filled it with water and a few large rocks. Landscaped it with plants inside and out and dumped those 6 fish in it. They were 2-3 inches long. Two years later we had 150 of various sizes and colours up to 8 inches long. We sold then for garden ponds.
I did the maintenance on the plants for our pond, but nothing else, no feed , no filtration or aeration. Those fish stayed there summer and winter. In winter the pond froze over and was covered with snow.
These fish breed like cockroaches and are as tough.
