I had 5 koi and 3 shoebunkins that a blue heron decided to eat. Now i bought a net to protect my 10 new tiny little koi fish from that **** heron.

Nice pond! How big is it? Koi get three feet long! and need BIG ponds
From what I've heard, they need 1500 gals at the minimum for 4 koi or so
 
That pond is 1000 gallons. The koi are 3 inches each. Next spring I am digging out a much larger fountain/pond probably around 4000 gallons. The 8 fish the darn heron ate were all around 7 inches.
 
That was a sad couple of days :( at least they're protected now.
