    Is that why our clowns feed their anemones?

    That's great video. Short story to share- my sister has a koi pond, and her German wire-hair retrievers feed her fish. They get a mouthful of fish food and eat over the pond, dropping some as they go. It's quite funny to watch the fish follow the dogs around the perimeter.

    Neat video! We had a koi pond a while back. Apparently sandhill cranes love to eat koi :( Lost all of them. We decided no more fish - although we are thinking about trying again.....

    I thought the duck was going to get eaten at first.

    I have a koi pond.. Blue Hearing got my first koi but we now have a black net which we cover it with. It is almost like a cast net.. You don't notice it until you walk up to the pond, does a good job as I have not lost one since I put it on.

    They also have sprinklers that are motion sensitive that people use.

    As soon as they see a shadow or noise near the pond the come right up.. That is what makes it so easy for the birds in FLA.
