:i have an outdoor fish pond and i think it is around 300-400 gallons . i was wondering if it is okay to put a pleco in to control the algae during the summer when it is not cold. what temperature range would be acceptable to keep one outside?
:thanks

Are there other fish in the pond? Plecos have been known to harrass larger goldfish and koi.
