Well not me but my pond.

 

Bit of back story first; I built my pond when I moved here from Norfolk 17 years ago, it's only a little one at 10'x7' and 2 and half deep. I brought the fish from old pond in Norfolk as there was only 5 of them, 4 Tench and a Common Carp all about 3 - 4 inches long. Anyway, I lost two of the tench within a couple of years of the pond being built. And I lost my Common about 3 years ago, was gutted at that one as he was over 2ft long and weighed about 12lbs. So apart from all the other fish in there I still had the two tench left and for the past 15 or so years they have been happily swimming about together with their mates and slowly growing.

 

Now to the "weird bit"; Yesterday I went out to feed them and I noticed that there were 3 tench in there all about the same size :blink: I haven't put any new fish in the pond for over ten years as the gold fish have been breeding and stocking the pond for me. So how has this third tench managed to stay hidden for so long or has someone put it in there! lol

 

There's not really anywhere for fish to hide as such and the water is crystal clear so you can clearly see all the fish swimming about. It also can't have been born in there as both my tench are female.

 

So in summary, wtf is going on :huh: lol

its obviously a case of he got bored in the local river, up sticks and moved to a nicer location where he gets fed daily.

It's either that or an Alien tench come to suck my brain out through a straw, if that's the case the bugger will be going hungry :lol:

And look on the bright side at least they are all having a whale of a time:pinch:

Believe it or not, but herons and other waterbirds can actually carry fish eggs from one place to another.a pool I used to fish was stocked with carp, roach,tench and bream but ended up with pike and perch in it!, and that was a syndicate water and nobody put pike and perch in it!.

you didnt find Daz's copy of Dolphins whilst you were in there then?

Pmsl, I have a copy of that lol. It's awful haha

I've haddock enough of listening to this rubbish! :lol:

Obviously walked there, havent you heard of Tenchy Strider:laugh::laugh: sorry got RAPped up in the moment

Spot on that man, tench are very sly and they may have escaped your notice for a few seasons at an inch long. Now the weights going on youve noticed them

:lol: loving all the fishy puns. Some were clutching at prawns tho'

 

 

Yep, I know about the fish eggs sticking to water fowls feet etc, but I have never seen any water birds anywhere near my pond. If a heron was the culprit for example it would have kept coming back until it had wiped out my stock. Luckily I have a Heron defence system built in to the pond. Heron's can only hunt by wading and if one did attempt to wade in my pond it would very quickly be up to it's neck in water. I also don't think it could have been ducks as they would not have been able to take off again due to the high fences around my pond. Not to mention my two killer cats would have had them. I'm not saying that it didn't happen that way as it is the only realistic way to explain it.

 

At the end of the day though, I got a free Tench so happy days :laugh:

After the long walk, eel have to change the sole of his shoes......

Reminds me of a fish and chip shop in Rhyl called Roes Plaice... heh

I guess some local PIKEy could have put it in......

Name 3 fish starting with the letter K and ending with the letter K....

 

 

King Haddock

 

 

 

 

King Shark

 

 

 

 

 

and Kilmarnock...

 

 

 

 

its a plaice in Scotland...:clown:

I’m not sure that it applies to Tench but fish can change sex and in an environment where there are no males.

 

can someone please make up for my lack of aquatic puns and jokes.... :)
