Question
hi, i was wondering if i could put a pacostamus in an outdoor pond. i live in washington state and it freezes here in the whinter the pond doesnt freeze solid but an inch or so thick. thanks for your time. rick

Answer
if it is a tropical fish dont even consider it, if not then has your pond good good filtration, is it a decent size, nd what other fish are in there, im not sure what fish your on about, if you mean a pleco, its not really a good idea, if its outgrowing your tank take it back to your pet store and tell them that, you wont get any money back for it though, or give it too some one who has a larger tank.
