As many may know I've taken up permanent resident in the US for many years now, but my Condo in Chengdu,China is basically left vacant with except a old house keeper. Now a problem is that I've known for a while fishes have been disappearing from my rooftop garden at an alarming rate the past months. I am not sure it's the house keeper, eating them, birds picking them up, or ninja cats that can climb on to the 25th floor.

I used to keep many carps in the pool on the roof but there is only like nine left. What should I do? Since I am not in China personally I can only watch as all my fishes disappear. =(

you could set up a nanny cam or one of those cameras you can check out on the internet. Maybe ask a friend to go every once in a while to your condo and check your fishes.

If only Aqua man was still alive.
You are going to have to do a ninja cam, it's the only way.
Wishing you well.

You can talk to the housekeeper if you haven't done that yet asking him if he knows anything about it. If he has been eating them he might stop (even if he doesn't admit). ^^ Against birds there is the possibility of using a net which works quite well. Also there are electronic sound devices that scare birds away, but I don't know how good they are. Best would be if you had someone to plant a net. A cam might show you who did it, but no fish would be left, when you know the answer.

First world problem, but a problem nonetheless.

I agree with the poster above that you should ask your housekeeper if he/she knows anything about it. He/she could be the culprit and may or may not stop due to your inquiries, or at the very least might have more of an idea of what's going on if he/she isn't.

I ate your fish and I will continue eating your fish unless my demands are met.

a) I would like you to stock more fish in your garden
b) I would like you to start growing rice in your garden
c) I would like you to start growing nori in your garden

If these demands are not met within 24 hours I shall continue to devour your fish.

Godspeed,
Serejai

I think a net would make it look ugly, I did talk to the housekeeper, not openly accusing her of course, but just have her take note of the fish count, I think Birds, more so Hawks, that live in the city may be the main cause perhaps, there is a couple hawks in Chengdu.

Minirant: why the hell do people insist on posting this in threads where people are asking for help/advice with their issues?? I'm not going to ask about third world problems when I DONT HAVE THEM. Man it tweaks me so bad. rhakgbghrgbrh. I hate it. Posting "First world problem" is to Torenhire as Girl Blogs are to Chill.

Anyways..

It's most likely hawks, if you said you had them. We had a problem once with birds stealing fishies from our pond at my old house ...if you find a way to deter the birds and they keep disappearing, then I'd move onto the ninja webcam method. Start up a livestream and I'm sure people will watch for you...I mean they watched baby eagles, why not a bunch of fishes? :D

Fuck you, I didn't do it.

It's more than likely a raccoon. Those are sneaky bastards, can get anywhere (including a roof np) and love fish.

Nets are ugly as hell. Might wanna try a motion sensor, but I don't know if they're effective.

I think watching a few anime about fish could give you some really good insight...

+ Show Spoiler +
Clearly I'm not a very experienced person in this field, but the bird deterrence thing sounds the most reasonable, especially since you're on the 25th floor.

haha just a curiosity, but what kind of fish are you keeping in your pond?

Just regular carp?
