Except I
can't find 2 goldfish. I was in the pond today searching, no bodies, I
think I had a Kingfisher visit (damn!) one was a $35 panda moor male. :-(
Make sure you have lots of aeration, fountain and/or waterfall going.
Don't
feed over 84F. Your bio-bugs are not working well at those higher temps.
===================
It could have been a snake or bullfrog as motion sprayers don't deter them
at all.

I am so grateful, thank you all for relieving a major part of my heat
related stress. It's been in the mid to high 90's here, for the last 4
days with heat indexs of 100 to 105. No relief expected before Fri.

After the heron attack in June, I don't think I could have stood losing
any more fish from the pond.

We have the same problem. It's already 95 here and very humid. I looked at
the floating thermometers last night and the water was at 92F-93F in most of
the 680g breeding tanks. The fish were fine. :-)

At one time we were losing several fish a week, then a day. We finally gave
in and bought those thin hard-to-see black bird nets and netted everything.
No more losses to snapping turtles, huge bullfrogs and water snakes,
kingfishers and herons.
