burgo Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hi all, I have a question that I need help with. I have a large pleco that is starting to cause havoc in my tank. I have been told by certain people that it is alright to put them in outside ponds. I have also been told that you cannot do this. Is it possible or not? It would make my life a lot simpler if I could do that yet I do not want to either kill or damage the pleco in my attempt Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 nope strictly tropical, it will be alright in the summer but if u get a sudden cold night it will die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Do you live in Fiji or want it to die? If neither of those is yes, then you can not put it in a pond outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 As mentioned in this topic, plecos can survive in ponds quite happily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
