Koi Pond experience
I had a beautiful koi pond at my prior residence in a different state...unfortunately, it eventually became a decade long war against raccoons and other predators.
I am getting the koi bug again, but I am reluctant to enter the fray...Has anyone had success in The Villages with a koi pond?...I am even considering adding a bird cage extension to my lanai to house the pond...It might keep the herons and egrets out but I fear the raccoons can destroy and get around any screening I install. Any success stories? |
I think you answered your own question.

Thank you, but I'm looking for success stories.

We purchased a pre-owned villa 9 years ago with a pond in the back. We promptly purchased some regular goldfish feeders who grew into beautiful fish we enjoyed watching. For 9 years we had no problem, then about 3 weeks ago, upon going outside, there were no fish in the pond. What had happened to them? A bit later, we noticed a white heron on the wall behind the house...and our question was answered. 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.

We purchased home a few months ago and it came with a pond. Thought of purchasing some small fish but didnt want to be bothered feeding them.
Can fish live off the leaves that fall into the pond? |

Thanks for the encouraging input...Touch of Paradise seems to be the best place to go.

I have a koi pond and would be happy to share experiences we have had.
