My 3 red tails and 1 tiger shovel nose have outgrew they’re 500 gallon and I wanted to move them outside in to a pond I’m aware the temperature is a bit to cold for them especially in the winter. But I was wandering would any sort of heater allow them to stay outside if so could someone suggest a heater for that

Firstly, welcome to the forum.

To be honest with you even uk summer outside water temps would be too low, especially in the evening, even if you lived in the south.

There probably will be some kind of heater somewhere, you might get more joy posting in the pond section for a better idea. Though I suspect it will cost you a small fortune to run it as it would be on most of the time.
 
If you are willing to invest alot of money in heating the water and its $ to even run I have heard of people dropping alot of $ to heat their show koi ponds worldwide. It can be done but $$$
