L160 pleco in fish pond?

[batang_mcdo]

I have a pair of L160 pleco, current size is about 6-7 inches.
will they survive in fishpond? i have a 2000 gallon arowana pond which has 2 pieces 14 inch or bigger
Gibbicep pleco. do you guys think the L160s can survive in my pond? i dont think they'll be in any danger from the arowanas. but I dont really drop food for my plecos in the pond.
it does get sunlight, pond is somewhat bare bottom with just 2 big PVC tubs for my Gibby to hide in .

what do you guys think? would it be a good idea to throw my L160s into the pond?
water quality in my pond is a lot better than my tanks.

they are pretty rowdy and would chase my other plecos around during feeding time.
i'm thinking either put them into my pond, or put them in my tank with rays.

In the pond, you would need more hiding places and the temp can't go below 75f/23.8c. I don't think Manila gets cold, so that shouldn't be a problem.

There may still be bullying.
