There is nothing really blocking predators from reaching him.

How big is this pond? And what kind of goldfish did you get? Goldfish are really messy! Also, don't forget about large birds - predators can come from the top too.

Cool, yeah, that's a better idea than goldfish. Have you fenced it in yet? Do you have pictures?

I can't tell from the pictures- is there a basking area where Freddy can get out and bask?
