Hello

Hello everyone. I am new to the forum. I have a 500 gallon Koi/goldfish pond that I built about 7 years ago. This year something is eating the eyeballs from my fish. I lost 3 fish in the last 3 weeks. Never had a problem before this. I am thinking it is a raccoon but I know they don't go in the water and I can't figure out how it is catching them. It leaves the dead fish on the cement. So sad. Anyone have any solutions. I did put a net over my pond today to help protect the 5 I have left.

Welcome to the Forum

Sorry about your feeding problem

WELCOME to our forum! :wave: Sorry to hear about your fish how big were the fish? I wouldnt think raccoons would be stealthy enough to catch 3 fish. They might get lucky and catch 1, unless your fish are very friendly, or you have shallows where they can sit and wait.

Sorry about your fish.....

Sometimes other fish are the cause of missing eyes.

Welcome... Sorry about the fish. Maybe try a motion detection webcam... that may help narrow down what's going after the fish...

Thanks everyone. I put a net over the pond so hopefully this will help. The fish were a good size about a foot long. Motion detection web cam sounds really cool...I may look into that
