hello, does any one know of an animal/fish/newt that will reside in a pond,eat all the natural inhabitants then move on to the next closest body of water?
 
Can you explain a bit more? Do you have a pond with some critters you want to get rid of? Or did all the critters in your pond suddenly disappear and you want to know what ate them?
 
well i told my father that a pacage of eggs were commin to his house in the next fiew days.and he started to tell me about an artical he was reading about some type of "fish" that was dumped in a body of water, after they had eaten evrything in there they moved to another body of water. he says they can only stay out of water for short periods of time, just enough to find new water.and they kill everything.thats all i know, just wonderin
 
possibly the walking catfish , they are a serious pest in some areas
 
He was probably talking about the dreaded snakeheads.

Walking cat fish and the dreaded snakehead are both documented to act in this manner.

While freshwater eels (Anguilla rostrata) lay their eggs presumably in the Sargassum Sea, they can also travel from one body of water to another. An introduced Asian Eel that has colonized sections of Florida can also move from one water section to another.
