| Hi, I am a 1st timer here and I LOVE IT!!!!!!! My question? I have a hugh orange KOI and was being chased by a smaller one (guessing the obvious) We have a beautiful pond that was very green then we were able to clear it for a day and saw her. SHE IS MISSING what happened? We do have a slate block with 2 openings for hiding. My husband put his hand in one and then the other and still can't find her nor have we seen her. HELP!!!!! |

| You can try using a Scarecow to protect your other fish from the same fate. It's motion activated and should work. Just remember to keep it on when your not watching the fish. |

| Scarecrow didn't work for me after a couple weeks - and I had TWO of them. A tasty (and easy) fish dinner is a pretty strong incentive for a heron. Covering the pond with a net overnight and when you're not around is the only thing that has done the job. |
