My pond fish are disappearing - is it the frog?
I saw a frog or two around my little fish pond recently, and now my fish have disappeared, one by one. Are the frogs eating my little goldfish, or is it just a coincidence?

How big are the fish in your pond? How big are the frogs and what species are they?

Most frogs are not known for eating fish, but some species of frogs will swallow anything they can fit into their mouth, just like most fish species. So it is hard to say until we know what exactly species the frogs are and the sizes difference between them and the fish.

There can be other possibilities. Are there raccoon in the area? Raccoon are known for fishing from the ponds and outdoor fish tanks. They can be the one eating your fish.

I wouldn't blame the frog just yet. African clawed frogs will eat small fish when they get big enough but most frogs don't consider fish a prey item. There's a ton of other possibilities. Like Ram said, it could be a raccoon. It could also be a stray cat, a stray dog, a kingfisher or other fish eating bird or even one of the several species of bats that eat fish. Fish are like nature's treats.
