FRIGHTENING CARNIVOROUS FISH FOUND IN PATTAYA TEMPLES POND
A strange fish, with sharp teeth and a long snake-like body has been caught in the pond of the Goddess Court Chinese Temple, Pattaya. The fish was discovered after concerned staff had been finding numerous dead fish daily, with evidence of an attack on the bodies.

Pattaya and various residents of the area decided to investigate the situation to determine what the cause of the deaths might be.
Several residents tried to catch the fish, although ultimately they were scared away as the fish was seen to have numerous sharp teeth and would try and attack if an attempt was made to catch them by hand or with a net. A resourceful resident then tried and succeeded in catching the strange specimen using a fishing rod and pork for bait. The fish turned out to be around 1 meter in length with 2 fins on its body and 2 on its tail, it had numerous sharp teeth in a long hard snout.
