Well I haven't seen the catfish I bought last week since I've put it in the pond. And now my bullfrog tadpoles are MIA since they were almost frogs. So i'm out at the pond with a flashlight figuring catfish are more likely to come out at night. I still can't find the catfish but here is this little 1" fish swimming around. I have no idea where it came from.I'm figuring it hitched in on a plant as an egg a couple weeks ago. Not sure what it is yet,i'll try and get some pictures sunday when the sun comes back.

Make that 2 little 1" fish. Just found another while i was feeding the others.

oh, cool a bonus fish...hope its something nice...i was out this morning and saw some fry in the pond myself, probably minnow cause they just spawned too. in the border rocks right where i saw the fry. maybe your fish spawned, most get eaten anyways.

I don't think they spawned. I would think they are all too young since i purchaced them at 3" about 1 1/2 months ago. And still no catfish:grumble: I have no idea what could have happened to a 3" catfish. He has to be in there somewhere

goldfish, shubunkins, comets, and sarosas can spawn at 3 to 4 inches i do beleive!!

I put a 6" bullhead in my pond last year and could not find the thing to save my life. I ended up just taking out the goldfish and baiting a hook and catching the catfish at night.

Bullfrogs will eat small fish, as for your tadpoles snakes eat them.
