I have a small garden pond that I am eventually planning on adding comet goldfish to. The problem is, we have raccoons, opossums, and cats around our area, so I am worried about the safety of the fish. So, I was wondering how I could protect them.. is there something I could make/buy to keep them safe.. any help would be appreciated.

Netting won’t work like the other person said, all of those predators can rip it apart. I’d go with chicken wire you can probably come up with something to hold it down like stakes, or you can just use big rocks or bricks just to keep it held down. Its not expensive to buy and a lot more durable than netting would be. You can probably just buy its at Lowes or Home Depot, not sure whats around where you live but there has to be some sort of hardware store near you. If you don’t know what chicken wire is (I’m surprised if you don’t) but its wire mesh like what people use to build rabbit hutches and what not.

Best of luck 🙂

EDIT: How big is the pond? Not that big if there is just goldfish right?
