My Fellow Koi Keepers

Any ideas on where to get a 'Koi Tunnel' in the UK

As the dam electric fence has packed up my little chums are lacking cover at the moment - until the lillys and weed grow a bit more - and are a bit vulnerable to the fecking Heron at the moment so I'm looking to provide them with some !! (We've lost enough fish to that fecker already so I'm determined not to let it get anymore !! )

I've got some ideas for DIY stylee tunnels but would prefer to buy a purpose built one really !!

Any help or linkys would be greatly appreciated

we have a 'friendly heron' hes taken all but one of our koi...will see what i can find out

Cheers AF

I've only managed to find one purpose built at the moment but in was in the States !!

The pond is protected by fishing wire strung between the electric fence posts BTW but the little chaps are showing signs of being a bit stressed !!

Buy a 'fake' Heron and put it next to the pond, worked for me. They are territorial and won't go near the pond if another heron is there.

aaww bless...wil have a look...got a koi place near me..the heron near us has taken ours and jsut left them on the side of lake...wheres my rifle??? but theyre protected....

Oops, the herons by you must be more inteligent !

I'll sort another fence but it's a tunnel I really want to find as there'll be no cover for them again in the winter months !!

01291 690 751 or google raglan garden centre they sell koi carp ...dont know if they do the tunnels...but they seem to have everything else! they are near me x

Wassa matter with you? They're only overgrown goldfish. Can't you get some more next time the fair comes to town?

I bet that'd sort the problem.


Bazza is right though, you do seem to be carping on about it.

Consider the carp pun as your b-day present.

Wow thanks

You do talk carp don't you.

You could always ask Mikey if you could keep them in his swimming pool.. I'm sure he has excellent security handed down from his experiences in the "special" forces

Is that like remedial cadet classes?

Perhaps I could be of assistance... what you need are some of these - and I just happen to know who's got some ... just one thing - how big did you say your ocean is


You can pay me in fish..... 10/15 Koi ought to be ample to cover
