Interesting discussion … different places, different situations. I am in the process of putting out a container or two for the summer. However, my temperatures will reach 32 – 35C in the heat of the day. I can place Elassoma in the containers. They are virtually free if collected from the local ponds in the area. On the other hand, my Betta edithae are expensive as I must purchase them on the internet and pay for shipping. If I am successful with fry in the coming months I may try placing a few of them in the outside container. I believe their early growth would be much improved being outside and be able to feed continuely.
