i have an inflatable kiddie pool 500gal for my indoor pond for this winter i plan to build a 2x4 framed 1300 gallon indoor pond with a pond liner next summer. i currently have a 10" pleco in my 90 with my barred midas and the midas is quite aggressive and keeps picking at the pleco. has anyone here ever had a pleco pop an inflatable pool? anyone have a reason why the pleco would pop the pool? if not im sure it will love its new home with all the things to clean the algea off of and not get picked at by an overly aggressive midas.
 
tankmates would be oscar, pacu, goldfish, and one Crenicichla Sp.Venezuela.
here's a pic.

Spines. Don't attempt plecos and other catfish in it especially as most catfishes are rather slow swimmers and can tear the pool even by accident.
 
lupin thank you. to everyone else asking about a leak, yes and no yes im worried about a leak because i dont want to have to deal with it, no im not worried about a leak its on a concrete basement floor that has a drain 5' away from it. my house/basement got flooded this summer and that used to be a bedroom. but i wont make it a bedroom again because too much stuff got ruined dresser, bed frame, clothes,tv so now it has become my indoor pond room. i also have my 90 gal in that room.
