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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
