Sad Weekend
My husband and I took a weeks vacation we have not had for three
years. We came home today and to my surprise, my four year old Koi (four of them) were all missing from our pond. In addition I also had another pond with veil tail shubukins, they were also gone. We found on the top of our boat cover a large amount of bird droppings, we feel a large bird got our fish. We raised these fish from small two inch Koi. I've read many post from people having there pet fish taken by large birds. How do you get over this. After raising them this long and watching them grow and knowing when you go out to visit them they will greet you and allow you to touch them. What a way to come back from vacation. I do blame myself as I feel I'm a novice at this and should of realized that some day a large bird will discover a new food source. We plan to enlarge the pond and build a netted structure to avoid this from happening again. We enjoy our fish and won't give up. |
