Managing Summer Heat and the Outdoor Goldfish Tank!

It's been warm one here, well for us anyway. Not as hot as other places so I'm not complaining! Just managing the temp swings and keeping the goldfish healthy and happy. Adding temporary shading and improving oxygenation.

Nice looking pond!
I envy your 91 degree temps. I'm in TX and we are remaining in the upper 80s and low 90s through at least the first week of October :( A couple years ago I was having to freeze gallon jugs of water and put them in the patio pond to keep the water temp under 95F.
I had a similar problem with floating plants. Goldfish seem to nibble the roots away the plants die. So I moved to just using lilies and other plants that could be potted.

Thank you! I have little room to complain compared to your weather there. If we get stuck back into the heat, I'll use frozen water bottles to help manage. I may add a Lilly or two, not sure.
