Plan in advance how to protect your fish from predators, (raccoons etc).

If they don't get any "fruit", they won't keep coming back "to shake your tree".

good luck .

You have raccoons in your area you just don't know it because they are nocturnal, and generally scared of people. The measures of protection are all pretty much the same. You can put a net over your pond or give your fish a nice underwater shelf to hid under.

Are you going to use the pre-formed or do a liner pond?
