[Zagggon]

My oscar didnt manage to eat off all my con fry and theres about 40 mature ones now that i wana put in my parents pond. It still gets down to like 65 if a cold front comes thrue so im wondering if cons could survive that in an outdoor pond?

They should be alright. The only thing is make sure to put them in when its warmer so that when the colder weather approaches, the temp will steadily decrease and it will be like acclimating them naturally to the colder weather. Just expect a bit of die off (up to 50%+ IMO), the first cold hit, the rest that survive will be stronger and it should work out fine. Good luck!

*Please note* I only said yes because they are from texas according to their info, it should stay warm enough for most of the year.
