Callicarpa Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Hi! I'm Diane in Florida. I've had fish on and off through the years but haven't had any besides a betta since the goldfish in our pond were found by a local raccoon a couple of years ago. ðŸ˜Â Now I've set up a 14 gallon hexagonal tank which was given to me by a neighbor (set up inside! no raccoons!) and have three very young platys. I so enjoy Cory's youtubes that I made my way here. Thanks for having me. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Welcome to the forum. Raccoons are definitely not fish friendly 😢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrey Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Welcome to the forum!!! So sorry to hear about your goldies, fish keeping outdoors in FL is wonderful for yearlong ability.... but the gators, raccoons and egrets can take their toll.😔 So glad you got the hex, look forward to watching your progress! (PS: I'll take an angry gator over an angry goose, any day) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 The thought of predators is the reason I have a large tank and no pond as well. Although it's only heron's here, I've got friends who keep pet raccoons and trying to protect anything from them little bandits must be a nightmare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minanora Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Welcome! Congratulations on the new tank! Used tanks are sweet. 2 of my 3 tanks are used. One given to me by a neighbor, and the other is from our local Turtle rescue/sanctuary. I love to give old tanks new life. ^_^ Sorry to hear about your pond. Keeping raccoons away is not easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
