Koi Fish are a "Nice little Earner"... Bought 6 for £200 when young and 3 years later Sold for £12k... That's £11k Profit when taking in Fish Food Prices etc
Apparently half of them got eaten by a heron.
“£6k down the drain. Koi carp eaten again.”
Don't be a 'silly billy'... Not on My Watch (and my Three Cats... Siberian Long Haired and Main Coon Cat who between them Rule the Dogs in the vicinity... so a Heron wouldn't stand a Fuckin' chance!)
Nice cats but I wouldn't fancy their chances against a family of otters , we lost 32 Koi in one night from our pond they burrowed underneath the filters ate the liovers and left the bodies all around the edge of the pond.
He can always come and do my garden if he's that guilty... we've got a Koi Fish pond so he should feel at home!...

Why how very 1970s suburban middle class of you!

I install CCTV, one customer had asked for some cameras because he was having problems with a neighbour.
Couple of months later he asked me to come over and install one overlooking his koi carp pond.
So I turn up and he says in the hallway, an otter has cleared out most of my carp last night, they're spread all over the garden, we'll go through to the garden but ignore my missus, she's addicted to pain killers and is out of her tree.
So I walk past her and she's laid out on the sofa, she murmers hello and I walk out to the garden, there's all these huge carp with bites taken out, 16 in all, anyway suddenly his wife is stood beside me looking at a white carp (ghostie I believe they're called) with half its head missing, she leans down and touches it and says,oh no it's molly, she's my favourite, then looks up at me and says "do you think she's still alive", trying not to burst out laughing I said I've just got to go to my van, I wonder round the side of the house and I'm silently wetting myself, her husband follows me and bursts out laughing too, he says to me, "I knew you were going to laugh", I said to him "Jesus couldn't bring molly back"
I like how we've replaced one injury prone defender (tomi) with another (Califiori), just waiting for the news that he's 'out for weeks', then expect him back around Xmas, followed by a setback and the signing of another injury prone defender...
An Otter wouldn't stand a chance against Three 4 stone (in weight) Felines !
River otters have a bite force estimated at 615 pounds per square inch, compared to the average person's bite force of around 162 pounds per square inch.
And once they are in the water with the fish a cat would be next to useless , bit like Sterling.
You can keep them , they were reintroduced to the Norfolk broads about 20 years ago and now the aquatic bird population of Grebe , Coots , Moorhens , and ducks in many forms are greatly reduced . Fishermen are also complaining about the lack of Eels , Roach , perch , bream .
They have to eat and they take anything that they can . A female can have 2 to three pups every 13 weeks and The otter has no natural predator and as they are a protected species they cannot be hunted or culled.
They look nice and cuddly but they will continue to reduce the rest of the wildlife until their prey runs out as it did before and then their numbers will reduce again and the cycle will go round again.

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka could be named in the squad to face Fulham in the Premier League next week.
The 23-year-old has been out since December after sustaining a hamstring tear in the win at Crystal Palace which needed surgery.
Saka's recovery schedule has gone according to plan and he is now back in full training. However, the Gunners are continuing to be cautious with his return and will make a final decision closer to Tuesday's match.
Barring any unexpected delay the England attacker should be available to face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals in April.
Last week, BBC Sport revealed Arsenal were set to open formal contract talks with Saka, who is entering the final two years of his deal.
