@needrain I finally took out the pond out back because of the raccoons. They destroyed all the vegetation and ate the fish. They would take the pump apart, or tip over the fountain head and pump most of the water out of the pond before daylight. They ate all the water lilies I ordered. I just decided to give up. I still have a little pond in the courtyard. So far, the raccoons haven't bothered it...but the neighbor's cat has discovered it and kills the fish for sport and leaves them with just a chunk bitten out.
