If it is legal to get the plants from that pond (and the water isn't receiving chemicals or excessive fertilizer runoff), sure! Be sure to put the plants in a 5% bleach dip for 2-5 minutes to kill any bacteria, parasites, viruses, snails, or any other hitchhikers. After the bleach dip, rinse the plants well and soak them in water with a triple dose of dechlorinator. Most "coldwater plants" will do just fine in tropical tanks, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
