Koi are vulnerable to predators (herons, cats, raccoons) year-round—especially in cold water when they're sluggish. A quality pond net is essential protection.
Install a taut, fine-mesh net over the pond. Attractive designs blend with landscaping. Lift sections for feeding. Keep it on year-round in predator-active areas.
A handheld skimmer net removes duckweed, fish waste, and filamentous algae from the surface. Regular use maintains water clarity and quality.
Aerator: Critical. Oxygenates from bottom to top. Run year-round—winter oxygen is vital. Size correctly for pond volume.
Protection and water quality management go hand in hand for healthy, long-lived koi.
