Default need a few cold-hardy fish & plants

My sister lives near the Eno River State Park and she and her husband
watched in disbelief as a blue heron swooped out of nowhere and stole their
last fish. They thought a raccoon had been eating them! Now she wants me to
give her some of mine. I have about 30 - 40 living in a very small 4 x 6
pond and need to thin them out, but not to be eaten a predator.

Any suggestions on how to get / keep leaves out of my pond? It sits beneath
a huge hickory, two oaks and an ash. Previous owners put it there; not me.

You may also need a net. If your fish disappear, you have a blue heron in
your neighborhood (It's cleaned out every pond near Croasdaile Golf

Course
in Durham!).

I'm installing a 6'x8' pond, and I would like to acquire a few fish and

Any suggestions?


Garden Supply in Cary used to have them in outdoor tanks. NOt sure if
they still have them.
