![]() I never change my water either. Usually get enough turn over with all the rain we get here, esp in the winter. I turn on my UV to keep the water clear from algae in the summer.
We have racoons and herons here. But have a little electric fence wire that I have a timer on overnight, and keeps the racoons out. Actually, don't even turn it on most of the time now (not at all in the winter), as I think the racoons know what that wire is, and stay away. The heron has come and landed a few times, but probably doesn't like that wire around the pond rim, either, and has never tried to get into the pond. So I have never lost any fish yet to predators,... or that I know of. And of course here in Vancouver don't have to worry about freezing.

![]() Ya I saw the depth bylaw that's why I asked about success wintering them.
So I will have to wait for the snow to melt in my yard but I wan thinking falls/ river to a pond. Most of my yard is a hill tho so I don't know how well a pond would work without major changes. I mentioned h202 to the pond people at the home and garden show and they almost blew a gasket. They were not fond of me even mentioning it for use in a pond with livestock.

![]() My "pond" is a 180g Tuff tote and even with a cedar and chicken wire cover, I've gone outside in the morning to find a whole family of raccoons bouncing on top of the cover trying to get at the fish. They succeeded a few times in the past but now I have all sorts of ugly netting over top.
So you're lucky you don't have coons. My parents had a big cube tank outside under their porch cover and woke up one day to a Blue Heron sitting on the edge gobbling up all their koi. That was in SE Vancouver, under an aluminum awning. Anthony |
