Not sure about electric fences and deer. I tried electric when I had cows and the wire kept getting torn down. After I got rid of the cows, I wanted to try out a solar powered fence rig. It also got torn down. An old Rancher told me that when a cow touches an electric fence, it backs away but a deer, when shocked, lunges forward. I have no idea whether that is true.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
