Can anyone help? I am a new Koi keeper, I put my first six Koi into
my
newly built pond in November. 10 days ago when I wend down to feed
them there were only five Koi and three of my gold fish had also gone.
I have a Heron that comes to the pond every day.

** NOTHING keeps herons out of a pond but netting! Get the bird netting
at
ACE Hardware or any Hardware store. It's less expensive than in Pet
Shops
or online. Some people will recommend water sprayers ($100.00) or
wire/strings around the pond - they don't work for long!

===========================================
What about hotwires?
They are nearly invisible if set up right and I know those will
discourage racoons......

## If raccoons are you're *only problem* then that would work. Since our
dogs do keep the coons away we have no need for an e.fence.

I have one for my dog to keep her away from the fence.
