Pleco in pond?

[SKB]

I've read about it happening before, can I put my pleco in a pond? It's a common pleco and he's getting big, he's 1 foot to 13 inches long. My dad is getting a pond made soon and I was wondering if I could put him in their?

Depends. If you can add a little crevice or something. In the wild they are usually found chillin in burrows along the lake shore, this is where they hide etc. Mine used to hide in a stump in my 10g as a baby (all my baby plecos lived in the 10g until they hit 5.5in) .


how big is the pond? can it support fish? are there hiding spots for the pleco?


all this is imo
