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.

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,

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...

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.

The only one of the top of my head is Ika Musume...but there aren't a lot of like...carp...more like squid and shrimp....and the occasional jellyfish and whale.

Oh! There was an episode of Angel Beats where they went fishing....

Other than that, I don't think there is one.....I'll find one for you though. <3

From my vast amounts of anecdotal experience living in Chengdu and being an avid fisherman, I'd assume the death of the fish is probably the resultant of environmental factors. The worsening of the pollution in Chengdu most likely exacerbated the aging of the fish as they approached the end of their natural life-cycles. The lack of minnows in said pool is probably the best indicator of this bio-crysis many years in the making.
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

Large predator birds eating them was my initial thought, I would imagine that your fishes make for a pretty easy prey for them compared to fishes and animals in their natural environment.

According to ehow theres plenty of birds that hunt pond fishes, not particularly indepth article and mostly just common sense but linking it anyway.

If there is a dramatic loss of fish in the pond or the fish exhibit wounds such as puncture marks, a bird is likely stalking and consuming the fish.

tbh that sounds like the most absolutely ridiculous premise for an anime ever.. like, why a fish.. why not a lion or a shark.. fish are so boring..

I say you just bring it up with your housekeeper, i'm sure if it's her she'll stop now that she knows you're aware of the thievery, or she can keep an eye out of it isn't her.

I didn't think this idea was smart before I realized you had said to put your fishes away and leave the piranhas in there.

I think this one comes close to my idea of just watching anime.

Maybe instead of changing the type of fish, you can like somehow booby-trap the fish you currently have? That way, when the bird or w/e that is eating your fish, they would fall victim to your trap.

oh that is brilliant.... Though where can I get piranhas?

Maybe instead of changing the type of fish, you can like somehow booby-trap the fish you currently have? That way, when the bird or w/e that is eating your fish, they would fall victim to your trap.

Considering that the hawks that maybe hunting my fish are protected by animal law, I think not,

So basically piranhas are fine because it's animal vs animal, machine vs animal is unfair

If you don't use it whats the problem? Also, maybe instead of like strapping bombs to them, you could do something that would poison the birds. Then they couldn't tie that back to you, right?

How would you poison them without hurting the fish though?

I found this article that might be helpful http://www.koifishcareinformation.com/2010/02/how-to-protect-koi-fish-pond-from-predators-10-pond-fish-care-tips/

the decoys seem like a pretty cool idea.

K, so we have to somehow poison the fish. So you just need to research a way to poison the fish, and not kill them. And as the owner of the fish, the responsibility there lies with you.

Actually if you poison the fish in order to poison the predators it's a violation of law, and you'd definitely be prosecuted for it. I've heard of cases like that all the time.

Your best bet is to somehow frame one of your neighbors, perhaps putting a heat-guided crossbow on their roof in order to shoot the birds so that you don't get the blame.

Well the thing is, how would he get caught? Would the police know to investigate his fish pond when hawks start showing up dead? He could also poison the fish in other areas as well, to cover his trail.

He wouldn't get caught, cause when someone sees the dead hawk, they probably think it died from natural causes.

Easy solution: keep discussing about how to safely dispose the hawks for few weeks, and you won't have to worry about the problem anymore because there will be no more fish

Blasty could also try and frame the person who sees the dead hawk as the one who poisoned them. Afterall, isn't the first person who finds the corpse supposed to be the 1st suspect?

Well I mean whatever doesn't kill the fish, and kills the hawk, might kill other things. So you might see some kind of complete ecological meltdown. Or some environmentalist/scientist might dissect the hawk and find that it died from unnatural causes, and if it was a protected species there would be an investigation, they could find what it last ate, and it would lead back to blasty.

Which is why I said he should not only poison his own pond, but ponds all around the area, so they couldn't single his out. That way, he covers his tracks.

This is very similar to Pang Tong telling Cao Cao to chain his boats together, IMO. He would just get even more screwed in the end when they find him. Plus how would he not get caught by the neighbors? He would have to seduce all the wives.

Well you wouldn't have to necessarily hire your housekeeper. There are professionals that do these kinds of things.

Which is why I said he should not only poison his own pond, but ponds all around the area, so they couldn't single his out. That way, he covers his tracks.


This is very similar to Pang Tong telling Cao Cao to chain his boats together, IMO. He would just get even more screwed in the end when they find him. Plus how would he not get caught by the neighbors? He would have to seduce all the wives.

He doesn't even live their anymore. When they find a bunch of ponds in the area being poisoned, don't you think they would investigate the people who actually live there?

my house keeper isn't a ninja that flies rooftop to rooftop to poison other people's roof top ponds


Well you wouldn't have to necessarily hire your housekeeper. There are professionals that do these kinds of things.


Rofl I wasn't going to post my idea but as this makes just as much sense, strap bombs to the fish that will go off if it senses a change in water/oxygen. and hope they don't jump out of the pool at any point in time. If it is the house keeper you'll hear about it later.

Your best bet is to somehow frame one of your neighbors, perhaps putting a heat-guided crossbow on their roof in order to shoot the birds so that you don't get the blame.

He wouldn't get caught, cause when someone sees the dead hawk, they probably think it died from natural causes.

but then again I would like a maid over a housekeeper, some one that's no a grandmother, in their 20s maybe, and possibly have ninja skills

From my vast amounts of anecdotal experience living in Chengdu and being an avid fisherman, I'd assume the death of the fish is probably the resultant of environmental factors. The worsening of the pollution in Chengdu most likely exacerbated the aging of the fish as they approached the end of their natural life-cycles. The lack of minnows in said pool is probably the best indicator of this bio-crysis many years in the making.

Carp can live so long...

I blame Hawk.

I cry a little on the inside

In one day, this blog already has more replies than your Yuri Guide. I guess that means people are much more interested in booby trapping fish and getting away with it, than Yuri.

Also, I just had a great idea. Instead of framing your neighbors, wouldn't your housekeeper be the best fall-guy? Just secretly lay a trap in your own pond, without even letting your housekeeper know. And then, once the poison is tracked back to your place, you can be like "Dude, I live in the US, how exactly did I poison a pond in China". And that would leave your housekeeper as the #1 most likely person to take the fall.

That is sickly brilliant good job sending her to jail is the best excuse to ask my step mother to hire a new house keeper hopefully a maid, which unfortunately I'll almost never get to see =(

But on another note/mini rant
Man, It's so hard to take care of my estate when abroad >.<, but seriously, If I can get a condo like that in the US I'd be good, yet I share an apartment with a roommate here. Why is all my good/useful assets not in the country I live in.
