Well, there are 3 fish gone now! The funny thing is that nothing around the pond seems out of place (as if a raccoon was around - I doubt they tip-toe around while catching fish!). I'm baffled if it isn't the frog. This frog is definitely big enough to eat fish.
The real mystery is where did that extra fish come from? It's about 2 inches long and is gray/black. This is a new pond with new fish that I put in at the end of June. The guy at the fish store told me it would be highly unlikely that one of my fish laid eggs that late, because they spawn in early spring (? - don't know much about this). There is a large pond up the road from me, and he thinks it's possible that a bird might have carried it from that pond and dropped it in my pond by accident - I find that even MORE unlikely!! I just have to figure out what type of fish this is, because if it's not a goldfish or koi, and I want to get it out of there if it might be harmful to my fish at some point. It's a quick little guy so it's hard to get a picture.
