Just got in a few hundred Hi Fin Banded Sharks and was wondering how many MFK'ers have them in outdoor ponds? What part of the world are you in and do you bring them in during the winter?

Looks nice, whats the low temperature for them, Im stocking a pond currently and might be interested.


Hi Fin Sharks are great in watergarden ponds as they will graze on algae and can tolerate temperatures as low as 40 degrees fahrenheit. Peaceful by nature, the Hi Fin Banded Shark get along with koi and goldfish and is omnivorous, but leans toward the herbivore side of this category, feeding on benthic (bottom-dwelling) invertebrates and rasp algae growing on rocks and logs. In the wild, this fish can reach up to 39 inches in length; in a pond setting they generally reach only 18-24 inches. Current size 3-3.5" Hi Fin Sharks and 4"-4.5" Hi Fin Sharks
