How Do You Protect Your Koi?


Protecting your koi from predators can sometimes be a challenge. Pond owners have tried various ways to keep their koi safe from herons and raccoons. I decided to try a new item called Islandscapes by Freedom. In three easy steps, I filled, planted and launched my Islandscape. It gives the koi and goldfish in my pond a place to hide from predators. From above it looks like part of the landscape. It provides shade for the koi and goldfish and they love to hang out under it. Islandscapes come in five sizes, so they can add a splash of color and beauty to any size pond. The picture of my Islandscape was taken after it had been planted for 4 weeks, and everything is filling in beautifully. We're going to plant a larger one for the koi pond at Aquatic Connections. We may do it as a seminar. What do you think? How do you protect your koi? Post your comments and let everyone know. It may help someone out.
