I have kept koi of various sizes over the past two years, in mainly small
ponds. Upgraded to about an 800 gallon pond last summer. I have kept the
same 5 koi and one comet since then until today. One is missing.

It was a good sized fish, my largest at 12, maybe 16 inches. Fat. Too big
for the average house cat or animal to carry off. Its just gone without a
trace. No body anywhere in the pond vicinity. Have any other Long Beach area
ponders had problems with large birds, herons etc carrying off their fish?

Should I net this pond?

I keep a plastic owl for other reasons, but if it was a Heron who swiped my
fish. I have had only one other unexplained dissappearance in 4 years.

Response, except by idiot bible pounding troll pond scum appreciated.

I have a heron come by about once a month. I have some wire strung around
my pond as well as a motion activated sprinkler.
