We do have two palm trees that shadow the pond so I'm sure that along with the wall has contributed to keeping the fish safe for years. We're going to purchase some new feeders and hope to have them for years to come.

Nine years...That's encouraging...Buy shubunkins---they are like miniature koi ....If I have a pond 2' deep with sloped edges, they may escape the birds ...It's the raccoons that I fear the most.
