Message: [QUOTE="CountryEscape, post: 266858, member: 3087"] Well, had an almost death in the goldfish pond this morning! I went out to feed, and saw one of the largest goldfish (I'd guess it's 7-8" long) laying on top of a rock on the side of the skimmer, in about 1" of water. Thought he tried to shimmy over the rock to go behind the skimmer, which they sometimes do, and got hung up! But, as soon as I leaned down to check him out, I noticed his head was in a bullfrog's mouth! I hesitated for a millisecond, thinking about getting my camera, but decided much more important to save the goldfish, especially when I saw him tail move. So, I tried to grab the fish, too slippery. Ended up pushing the skimmer forward (it's on a shelf inside the liner), and the frog decided he was going to pull his meal down deeper. No way! I reached down to grab the frog, and he let go of the fish. Both are doing just fine. Checked on the fish this evening (he is the ONLY solid orange/red goldfish I have, so it was easy to see if he made it or not) and still doing fine. Was hanging out by the bog outflow. Pic of the fish was taken this morning, at the bottom, under the waterfall from the stream, so was glad to see it more on the surface this evening. :) Second pic is the bullfrog. I think he was telling me, "You just wait ... next time I'll nab one of your pretty little fantails!" I have no idea why he grabbed the huge goldfish, other than he may have been behind the skimmer and the fish may have swam into that nook as well, made for an easy meal.
