Default Chinese Sucker- Myxocyprinus asiaticus

Has anyone every kept this fish. I know it is a cold water sucker form
China and grows to 3 feet. I would like to add it to my 3000 gal pond but
I don't know how it will treat my plants and koi. I think it is also called
a Chinese Hi-Fin River Sucker.
Thanks
Andre

Default Chinese Sucker- Myxocyprinus asiaticus

They are a cool fish and I am thinking of getting one for my pond too.
When I look them up in my book here is what it said:


Species: Myxocyprinus asiatica sinensis
Family: Catostomidae
Size: 12in (30 cm)
Diet: omnivorous
Tank level: lower
Temperament: peaceful, schooling

I see small ones all the time at my LFS in there huge koi tanks.
