Most of my goldfishes disappeared from my outdoor pond. I have covered it with plastic fencing. There are a few gaps but not big enough for kingfishers to go after. So for some times my fishes were ok. They are growing big. I usually buy "food" goldfishes as they are cheap and when they are big, they do look just as good. However, after my Japan trip, I noticed all the food are floating for a long time. I took a closer look and they have all disappeared! I have no idea what else other than kingfishers can eat my goldfishes. B3 suspected that it may be a black cat who was lurking around our front yard. One of our neighbours told him the black cat has been eating up her fishes in her pond.
I bought 1 in square metal fencing and cover the pond totally. This morning, I bought more fishes and put them in the pond. Let's see if they disappears again.
I am also thinking about keeping a silver arowana. It is cheaper to buy. However, I had put in three or four before and they all jumped out of the pond and died. Now with the metal fence cover, maybe I could try again. However, it is an expensive hobby as I will have to buy food fishes or frogs regularly.
Maybe I will rear some fighting fish instead. I am still mulling over all the different fishes I can keep in my pond.
