We have a pond and it has some fish in it and a couple frogs (pretty big frogs) Either crows or a hawk have eaten them.
Answers:
Are you sure it's crows or hawks? Not sure about hawks, but I don't think crows are good at fishing.
Have you seen the birds that have done it? Alternatively...are there any species of herons and/or cranes that live in your region? THAT is what we have a problem with, and have eaten quite a few of our fish over the years. And now with the new pond on the deck, they are not even shy at all about visiting it. We don't really live around any 'natural habitat' for these birds, but they still easily find backyard ponds and will remember where they are.
Because of them we have to have two plastic decoys (a gray heron and a white crane) out 'standing' in the pond to deter them because generally they will not land someplace they think one of their species is already at. It's not fail-proof, but generally it works pretty good.
Get some tin foil and put it in the trees, also I have heard wind chims scare them away. Good Luck.
ive heard that what Sunset says has worked. if not.. get a shotgun.
