It is my understanding that plecos will do fine in the pond during the
summer, but as soon as the water temperature drops to 55 degrees, they die.
They do have a nasty habit of attaching themselves to the koi and causing
sores, particularly if the pond has been cleaned of algae to well by having
too many. Check

Has anyone experimented with anything other then the standards like Koi
and
Goldfish? What about some of the typical fish you see in the pet store.
Tin
foils? Pl*cos? Will anything else survive?
