My wife and I built a new home(I totally DO NOT recommend this) and we have a new Koi pond in the back yard. I was back there today(this afternoon) and pulled this thing out.

Looks like that thing that came out of the dudes innards in Aliens. Kill it now!
Jk, almost looks like a parasitic fish but don’t really know.
How big is it?

Possibly slipped by as a tiny egg from the Koi supplier and hatched in yer pond? Could also be an egg transplanted by a wading bird.

Dunno. Congrats on destroying the monster.
