ok, I have been adding a few more fish to my pond this year.
I am 'trying' black moors & orandas etc. plus a few small koi .
most of them had just vanished.


$$ How large is your pond?

3800 gallons


$$ Do you have kingfishers,
no

herons,
no

bullfrogs,

yes , but small ones, we have had much larger ones than the ones here now,,
& didn't lose fish before.. these frogs do not look large enough to eat the
size fish that are missing (especially the 5in black moor, as it would be
larger than the frog!)


snapper turtles
no

snakes
the last one I saw was a garter, about the size of a pencil
(never saw a black snake , ever)
