Hi Dylan and welcome to Pond Boss. You're our first poster from that part of the world. What is the climate there? If it is anything like North Texas, with highs in the 107 to 110 degrees and winter lows in the teens, they would probably make it OK. What are the temperature ranges? I'm sure that you would have to look at import/export regulations on buying them. Your water quality might also make a difference on whether they would survive but they are pretty tough.

Would it be possible to control any nutrient inflow that allows the hydrilla to flourish?

What steps have you taken to eradicate it so far?

Do you have any pictures of your place? We would love to see what ponds are like in your part of the world.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
