Newbie Spring Start Up
I'm 47.
If I have to pull him, I'll bring him back to the place I got him. he jumped out last year and I found him down on the bank of the hill flopping around, don't know how long he was out of the water. I put him back in and he was fine. I checked the pond this morning and everyone is fine and the water is clear. I came home from work last year and found a snake in there. The snake had the frog around it's neck. I pulled the the snake up and the frog fell back into the water. He is fine as well. Is their anyway to keep predators away? The pet shop said the potted plant and some of the old water will have some of the bacteria to help the cycle. Keep ya posted and Thank's Pete |

I lost many fish to snakes, bullfrogs, herons and kingfisher before netting all my ponds and pools. Once a snake knows there is food in a pond it will keep coming back until nothing is left. As far as I know any water snake that eats frogs also eats fish. Is their anyway to keep predators away? Some people recommend those motion sensor sprinklers or water shooters but they are useless against snapper turtles, bullfrogs, kingfishers and snakes - all fish eaters. If I didn't have nets over everything here I wouldn't have one fish left. The pet shop said the potted plant and some of the old water will have some of the bacteria to help the cycle. Keep ya posted and Thank's This is true. :-) Pete -- Koi-Lo.... the ReelMcKoi Frugal ponding since 1995. Aquariums since 1952.
