Default Stopping Herons and other would be snackers

Herons look at koi as an easy lunch unless you act to protect them.
Herons are territorial so they will feed in the same spot over and
over. You can do serveral things to stop them. Using a decoy, spitter,
nets, electric wire and best of all a pond palace will stop them. A
decoy needs to move often and moving water is the best. A pond palace
is combines most of these tactics. The pond palace has a hard palstic
covering that has spawning mats, small openings for the smaller fish
and a large opening that even the largest koi can hide in. The top can
be used to hold potted plants. The super strong bubbles distrub the
water and makes it impossible for herons to see their prey. You can
see more about how to keep herons away at a href=http://
