pumps for oxygen yes .i use tailors/shop dummies heads on brushshanks round my pond it works great to keep the herons n gulls off and they scare the bairns |

1) i would get an air pump as i keeps the water oxygenated and helps with health/growth.
2) i would keep the netting if i was you i would you and remove it when you have people coming round. i had the dummys herons but still 2 of my 12inch koi went wondering into a herons mounths. i also saw a real heron attcking my plastic one under a pergola with another real heron watching it about 50 ft away  (i almost hit that one with a broom handle that somehow flew out my hand) |
