This sir, is the thread for you http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31564&highlight=Monster+pleco

will the pond be outside or inside? Because the commons are the only hardy ones...

The Psuedacanthicus hystrix, the Acanthicus adonis, Acanthicus histrix, and the LDA65 titanic pleco are the biggest of the big. The LDA65 is the largest though. None of these will survive an outdoor pond in Tennessee during the winter.
