[QUOTE="Al Keltz - Whirlwind, post: 104636, member: 2605"] Re: Update on Tilapia in my swimming pool We have a small fish pond with goldfish, and some koi. We were cleaned out twice by a heron. Someone told us to put a fake bobble head owl out there . . . no luck. Then someone said to put a statue of a heron out there because they're territorial and will think it's some other heron's turf. (No dice. Hey it was on the Internet!) Then someone suggested stringing a few threads of fishing line across the pond an inch or two above the water because the herons have trouble wading with the lines in the way. End of heron problem. As always, YMMV since your herons might have learned to run hurdles. :)~:-)~:smile: - Al [/QUOTE]
