tench are a green coloured fish quite slimmy and tend to live at the bottom its a very nice looking fish but hard to get its known as the doctor fish

WCMM are very nice, but they aren't true coldwater... they do do best at lower temps (15-20C) but anything under 15C is much too cold so it's more accurate to call them sub-tropical.

While normal temperature range of the species in the wild is 18–26 °C (64–72 °F), it can survive water temperatures down to 5°C (41°F); this makes it an ideal fish for keeping in an unheated aquarium in cold climates. i kept these fish for years i think i lost the first one after about 4 years they can live for 10 so Ive read a very adaptable fish , but then gold fish thrive at sub tropical temperatures ,so do pygmy sun fish from Florida, i think most fish are adaptable sub trop/cold
