A heron or a coon?

Hello, i have lost 3 , 5-6" goldfish in the last 2 weeks. When it started
i
found one, a calico, up stream in one of my catch ponds near my water
feature,
it was half out of the water,thought it was dead but started moving when i
touched it so i put it back in the pond, it seemed fine and swam around,
thats
when i noticed one missing. The next day the one i put back in was
missing.
Then a few days later our pure white fantail disappeared much to my 9 y/o
daughters dismay, she was highly upset as she had named her "Angel" and
we've
had this fish for around 6yrs. The water is 18" deep and the pond is 5' X
7' in
an oval shape, has bushes on one side and a wooden walkway on the other. I
have
not found anything disturbed in the pond or around the pond,everything is
where
its suppose to be. The day i found the white one gone i noticed a 1" gash
on
the body near the dorsal fin of another fish. Any idea what may be after
my
fish ??? We have a part chow part golden lab thats in the back yard with
the
pond but she doesn't go near it. And it seems to happen at night.I
recently put
in a large stone overhang/cubby hole to hopefully help hide even they have
other places to hide. Since ive put this in they stay under it. Thanks for
the
help in advance.
