Hey scooter; Saw your smiley face. Appreciate that .
That speaks volumes.
I decided to put the rest of my fish in another neighbors pond, that I helped him build. We are still working on it. It will be quite a layout when we are done. The pond and waterfalls are in. Some rock work needed yet. The next part when he gets the cash will be building a covered deck beside the pond and a barbeque area. I am going to leave most of my fish there. Possibly next spring I may retrieve Mr. friendly, and a few others and start up again.
I will git back to work on the pond and water falls this fall but no fish. I was able to confront the person I still believe did it. But his sister was in agreement with the story that he gave me. I have accepted the fact that I may never know for sure. But at least he knows that I knew what my fish looked like. Their story was that him and his sister went all the way to Kansas, from here to get nine fish. he called them blues But they were a mix of Asagi with the blue grey back and orange on the sides. The same number that I was missing, plus one which was the ( adult female ) of the nine. There were a few others In his pond that resembled mine too.. I believe however now that we have had the discussion. It may be safe to start the pond back up.
Heh Heh He offered to give me a couple to start back up again, said he hated to see me have a nice pond and water feature and not use it.

Oh well maybe I will have another friend with a very strained start. The trust may take a while though. Thank you everyone who had sympathized with me. I think the story will be a closure. Thanks to all.
