Will a common garter snake eat my fish?
Comments (2)Oh, yessiree they will eat fish. I'm glad they eat minnows since the DDH dumped his leftovers from fishing in my goldfish/koi pond, but I don't want them eating my babies so my DS and I captured them (5 total last year), put them in pillowcases and let them go in a cemetery near some woods.

Comments (6)Before we put up the electric fence because of the raccoons, I observed many cats at our pond many, many times. While they did reach out a paw towards them, the minute the paw hit the water they jumped back and shook the paw. It was actually quite amusing. They would sit for hours and watch them but I never saw any evidence that they actually scooped any from the pond. My own cats and the neighbors and stray cats are fascinated by the fish swimming, in the front ponds with no fence or fish there are treefrogs and tadpoles and they are all fascinated by them too but we have not found any froggie corpses. Nor seen them actually catch one. Again when the paw gets wet, they jump back and shake it. We watch them for hours out the front window. Having the "nature" ponds out front is almost better than TV. We've seen opossums drinking too but raccoons are the only ones who do any damage. They do present us with dead rats, mice and an occasional house sparrow though. I'd like to pay them a bounty on the dang starlings. IF they got a fish or a frog, I have no doubt that we would find the corpse in the house or on the back porch where they leave everyone else..... The only fish I would truly worry about being killed by cats are fancy goldfish like fantails that don't swim well at all and have to stay near the surface. They wiggle so enticingly that they are impossible to resist and they can't dive like comets or koi do to escape. I can then imagine the cat playing with it until it died and then walking away thinking all the fun has gone....See MoreMy betta fish will not eat he just stays at the top of the water!
Comments (7)chels19, don't listen to some idiot who advises you to callously flush your fish away. It seems you're doing something right with your betta. In fact, I recently purchased some Blackwater Extract for my betta. It will discolor the water (dosage is 1/2 tsp. to 2 gallons of water) but it contains peat that lowers the pH and adds vitamins. Please check your water's pH, and for nitrates and nitrites, hardness, etc. Take a sample to your nearest pet store, they should be able to test your water and make proper recommendations. I'm glad your betta is doing better. TammyPie...See Moremike_il
