I took 4 concrete blocks and painted them black, then lined them up so there
were tunnels that the fish could hide in. The side benefit: there's a nice
platform on which to put stuff (plants, rock formations, trickle tower,
fountain, etc.)

hi, anybody know a good way to make a hiding area for some Koi? Would a
plastic crate be ok? We have a racoon here so I'm just worried about
them being eaten.
