WHERE ARE MY FISH.
Last June I moved into this property, I cleared all the weeds and brambles away and built two waterfalls that gently fall into my fishpond. I bought five shabunkins. Last Saturday there were anly three left, Tuesday only one left and Thursday none left.
If any one sees them will you please let me know?

could just be a cat..? or bears they like salmon so it was bears.
Gosh I hope not. We dont get many of them around in the UK. Well just the odd teddy bear perhaps.
are they not trying to re introduce wolves or summat? wolves are pretty like huskys and snow leapords are best cos of their bushy tails
A bird?
it was definately a wild animal
I dont think it is birds. I have cameras watching the outside. there has been nothing on the video.
The same goes for animals, but I think they could possably sneak past my cameras.
racoons at night maybe.
The cameras watch both front and back of where I live, It’s not specialy for the fish. It’s fairly normal around this area to have security cameras.
It is the only possability that I can think of that it is some kind of animal. but it would have to be small to get past the cameras day or night.
twas the hound of the baskervilles. wait, wrong area, i think. yeah , if not that, i would say the racoons, the masked bandits of nature. or, how about stray cats??
probably a dog or something
look at Thepp’s picture. now think about “missing” fish. I think maybe he is just setting up his alibi.
It’s not a big animal, the cameras would pick it up. It would need to be smaller than a cat. That is what is making me wonder what it could be.
Honest governer it weren’t me. He he
mabye ur cameras r unly focusing on a certin part of ur backyard, and it got em from another way
You lost your fish thepp. I’m sorry to hear that. I’ll let you know if I see them.
I mean, i could look in the river lea if that helps? (its really slow and shallow because i live near the source, because its in my town)
If you dont mind Schwournes, I would appreciate you looking for them in the river. I you dont mind. The nearest river to me is about three quarters of a mile away. Do you think they could have walked that far?
Well they all look like fish. They are all about 10 inches long and they dont answere to thier names.
Spotty, shabby, tubby, streak and grumpy.
Never thought of posting the flyers, good idea.
Thanks hmf, I’m going to get pirhana next time. That should sort things out.
No but they will eat whatever it was that ate my last fish.
true! it’s a little guard fish! you could also get a dog. or a tiger.
I would like a tiger, I have a feeling it wont like living in the fish pond though!
I wont need to bother with how much land is needed. None of my neighbors are going to argue with the tiger.
I dont mind being the slave.
Back to the drawing board again.
I’m going to make a drink wont be around for a little time, tea that is honest.
Racoons
Hi cajun.
Dont get them here in the UK. Do you think it could be water rats? There is a lot of water around this area.
would they go fishing though? have you considered micro-pirates?
bloody sea monkeys!! they did it those swine
Thank you denisek22.
I have lost them all to some type of animal, I’m fairly sure it wasnt bird that got them. When I get some new ones I will cover the pond with a metal mesh.
Yes I should have done it in the first place, still thats another lesson I have learnt.
Maybe your shabunkins are just hiding under the rocks. Plotting some evil scheme…
maybe someone passed by thought the pond was public and decided to go fishing.
Sorry to hear about your fish. :( they might be somewhere hiding and thought of giving u a surprise! =D
seriously, hope ull find them sooner Thepp.
Thankyou all for your replies.
I am going to get some more fish to replace the ones I used to have.
What has happened is only the way that nature works and I accepted that from the beggining.
The reason for the post was more for a little light relief. It sometimes helps .
No, they all got it wrong. The type of fish you bought are notorious escape artists. Check the bottom of your pond for a secret escape tunnel leading to the nearest large body of water. Likely, though, you are too late to chase them.
Gosh where did they get the pick and shovel from? I wondered where all the water went.
Thanks lilies and daisies.
maybe they wanted some privacy

You’ve hit the nail on the head, people come from miles around to see my garden. They probably are tired of being stared at.
