How to stop fish travelling down the cascade?
Hi all,
I have a question for you guys. How to stop fish travelling down the cascade? I have a 3 tier pond with goldfish. I initially put fish in all ponds and put pebbles at the water outlet to stop fish travelling down. After sometime, all fish ended up at the bottom pond. I thought to put wire screen and considered it was ugly. Any ideas folks? Thank you for your attention. YSL Melbourne |

I had a similar problem and I simply added more rocks and pebbles but placed them a little more strategically this time to allow a good flow of water through the crevices but not big enough to allow fish through .

How to stop fish travelling down the cascade?
Not sure if my solution will help, but here goes.
I have a large flat rock that bridges where the water overflows to the lower pond. I used the black web-like trays used to hold pony paks of flowers and cut it to block the falls. Being black it can't be seen and with the rock in place the upper edge of the grate rests on the rocks bottom edge. This is bascially to hold it out a bit from the falls giving more surface area, the fish have knocked the connection loose and it still lodges in place as it's too big to pass thru the opening. Grate is cut from the corner of the tray a bit wider than the opening of the overflow, keeping one side and corner for integrity, I extend the bottom of tray back into the top of the falls. Hope that makes sense. ~ jan On Wed, 26 Mar 2003 18:24:20 +1100, "YSL" wrote: Hi all, I have a question for you guys. How to stop fish travelling down the cascade? I have a 3 tier pond with goldfish.
