Neat looking job! wish mine looked that good with the covers. glad you took the protective measure. Your fish are even more glad as they are far less likely to become sushi. I think I saw one swimming by in one of the pics that had a little sign that said THANK YOU! :cool: LOL

22 caliber CB rounds work.

I really wanna shoot 'em,but the laws states otherwise.I do haave a semi automatic gun that shoots plastic bb's,I think it the sound of the gun ,than the actual bb that scares them away.

I'm not going to advocate breaking the law. but I will say this, BB guns and herons are like hunting for deer with .22, you might get lucky, But I doubt it will have much effect, BUCKSHOT works far better! LOL, netting is the best LEGAL protection!!!!

your def right .anyways a lil update on the fish.they r growing like weeds.
I realize the net takes away from the view,but I'm lookin @ them not the net hahaha.
My main pump blew out yesterday,due to the high temps hitting us.It hasn't effected the fish yet,but will buy a new 1/2 horse today.

Yea the butterfly I like to call her the Mask Bandit.It seems she has been the leader of this group,[ever since my sante] was a light snack for a heron.:regular_waving_emot

My pond still a work in progress:
Hey addy,don't we all love to fiddle with our hobbies:regular_waving_emot I'll def come an take a look @ your progress.


I have that oj lily and love that bright oj color.
j.w He is my fav :fish: of the whole group,and he is a monster and bully,he has grown 3 times his size since last yr.Heck he even managed to toss a few pounds on over the winter,hehe.

Thank you all so much!!
