Alternative to plecos, when you say "something eating fish tails", are you
talking about another critter or a disease? There's something called
fin/tail rot . . .

I'm looking for an animal that could attack pond fish, remove tails, scrape off
scales and leave the fish to die. I have a suspect in the case but I'm trying
to see if anyone had a like experience. As it stands it's hard to believe if
it weren't for a witness and the dead fish.
thx

Yup, it whar ducks! They chomped on the adult fish, breaking off tails, and
rubbed off scales down to flesh. (Fish died from shock without their skin.)
They also ate every small fish in another pond.
Thanks for the replies, watch out fo' ducks. ;-(
