Nashvile real estate - Something I had never thought of, but some of my clients need to know. If you have a KOI pond, you have keep the predators away. Your pets could be a meal for many bird or mammals. Here are a few things that were passed to me from Tranquil Waterscapes.
A few ideas to help keep the predators at bay.
Koi Kastle
- Koi hide inside to protect themselves from predators
- Provides shade on sunny days
- Aluminum frame and fiberglass mesh
- Sits on the bottom of the pond
ScareCrow
- Motion activated sprinkler instantly releases a short but startling burst of water when it detects an animal, scaring them away
- Works day and night for up to 4 months on a single battery
- Sprays up to 35 feet
- Requires garden hose hookup and one 9-volt alkaline battery, not included.
Aqua Net
- 3/8" Mesh
- Protects against predators
- Ideal for keeping leaves and debris out of the pond
- Keeps new fish from jumping out
- Complete with durable metal anchor pins
- UV treated for longer life
- Available in 3 sizes (7' x 10', 14' x 20', 28' x 30')
Just remember: If your koi are hiding more than normal or are hesitant to surface when being fed, you may have a predator problem!

Hi Larry , My wife and I just put in a Koi pond in our rear yard.To stop the predators from having a clean snack on us.We installed one of those old transistor radio's in a plastic bag hidden in a bush nearby.Most predators will steer away if they think a human is present.This works for us in Mclean,Va and it may help your situation.
I love this. My neighbor puts smaller decoy fish in so that the more expensive fish have time to hide .
