I'm pretty sure it would die. Last year I brought in all the orandas and
catfish in my pond and kept them in a tank, but I, too, had a co-worker
offer me a large pleco for my pond recently and I turned it down.... don't
want to have to get a bigger indoor setup come winter.

I have a friend who wants to get rid of a really big pleco.
I was thinking of putting it in my 800 gal pond to control algae.
My question is: is it possible to keep it in the pond
during the winter or would it just die. I dont have a big enough tank
for it in the house. I live in the southern part of Ohio.
