Your fish will not survive if you do not acclimate it to the new water. put your fish in a plastic bag filled with the water it is in now and put the bag in the new water until the temperature in the bag is the same as the temperature of the new water. Also take notice, if you have other fish in the pond, how they react to the new fish. If it is going from a controlled climate inside to the temperature outside, it will have to be able to change with the water climate due to the weather. Good Luck

Yes. The deeper the pond the better they'll survive the winter especially if they're goldfish or koi.

If your pond stays at 70 degrees F all year round then yes put them in but if it gets colder than this don't as these fish come from the Amazon where they never experience cold weather.

I would add a little of the pond water at a time to a bucket with the fish and the water it has been in. Then add them to the pond. They should be fine. Good luck.

Algae eaters are very hardy. They should be able to thrive in a pond as long it stays warm enough.
Well here's some info on Plekos (Plecostomus Catfish) for ya! Link below... According to this they should even be able to breed in a pond.

is there water in the pond all year round? try not to put them in something that will dry up or freeze solid.if the gold fish have been in the pond for awhile they will probably eat them anyway.

Prolly get eaten by bigger fish. But I have seen gold fish survive till they were big enough to catch on a rod and reel.

how can you NOT love a fish? If it is a clean...litter free pond, with algae i would do it if they are big. If there small i'd them a diffrent owner. They would be eaten...thats SO mean!

we have a pond, and weve had our fish for a long time. but this one time a stork/ crane ate our fish, so first we put a net over out pond, then we got a fake plastic crane by our pond. so yes, they will survive. and sometimes youll get frogs, too!

The temperature thing is what worries me...
Like, you're supposed to put the fish in a bag of their own water, then put that bag in the new water, and let them get used to it so they don't go into shock.
If you don't do that, they could die.
