I used the search function as well as "googling" the water parameters for keeping the Blue Mahseer (Tor Soro), but came up with very little useful information.

I have read that they can peacefully co-inhabit ponds with Goldfish and Koi, but I am not sure that that means that they can handle the full temperature spectrum as these species.

I was considering adding some to my farm pond but am uncertain as to whether they could weather a Maryland winter. The stock was collected wild from Sumatra which sounds as though it would be more along the lines of "tropical" temperature range.

 
I though tor soro was the red one from Thailand/Malaysia. I believe they are tropical. Only ones (putitora, mussulah, mosal, neolissocheilus hexagonelepis) from India are cold water.
