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.

Plecos die in ponds, they need a heated aquarium in the winter.
