algae eaters

Hi everyone. We have a small backyard pond. I am wondering what type of algae eating fish are ok with cold water. What fish do you put in your ponds to help against algae control that can take colder water. I have ready articles on people using butterfly/hillstream loaches and also dojos. I know that common plecos cannot take the cooler temps. Thank you for any help or advice.

I was wondering about that too. Im in Indiana. Year round residence in the pond. 600 gal pond with 27 goldfish.

The only algae eater that survives the cold is the Chinese High Fin Shark. I was looking at them today for $25 each in a Koi store.
