I had considered adding these to a pond we had since it was not worth much anyway and one of them was full of Crawfish and the other mussels. I think they would love each of them.
But last year we had the drought and I found out how shallow the pond really was so they would have died anyway.
They are pretty hard to keep alive, but I think if you had a nice stock tank with an agitator on it they may be ok for at least 1-3 hours.
This is still a plan of mine as I would like to add 2-5 to my small pond we feed just to see if they would take to feed, also I think they could help RES out with the snails, and I would not think you would see any recruitment in a pond with any other fish in it as they would enjoy the floating treats as a snack.

Way easier to clean than a gar. Lol! No they clean easy. Not that boney, but we gig sucker every winter, eat them and they are the boniest. Many people consider them trash fish also. A fish scorer, some cold beer, and friends will make this best freezing to death experience ever. Riverside fish fry anybody. Nothing like the lights and spear running the river at night. Spooky! Almost gigged a beaver one time. Only in Mo !! LMAO

Canned em', and used them like you would Salmon, in fish patties. And that's right here in the Hoosier state.

During the spring run, suckers will migrate up into smaller, shallower creeks to spawn if conditions permit. Many of those feeder creeks eventually fed into the west fork of the White River, so it's certainly possible that some of those suckers called that river home.
Back then, being squeamish meant going hungry. And still today, many members of my family continue to eat fish from that river regularly. Were it not for having our own ponds, I would also.

Yeah, that caused quite a stir....the fellow that was responsible has done business with me for years....lot of "good ole boys" looking the other way, if the truth were known And now we have the Discovery Channel showcasing our finest every week, in the name of "reality television"....Embarrassing. By the way....one of my uncles that lives over by you just left here, he's hitting the sandbar on the White River for a little fishing tonight.
