It's possible but I would have an understanding with the vet to take her back if they don't get along. Could the water level be increased? You might also need an upgrade in filtration.

water is as high as we can go we are useing an aquatop cf500 canister filter rated fo 175 gallons with a flow rate of 535 gph talked to the vet today and says we can bring her back also said the sise of the pond is sufficent for the two

Well there ya go then. Give it a shot but I would watch them real close at first.
