Why does my onBecameInvisible never called?

    I have 3 rocks as prefabs on Unity, I attached this code to the camera and added them as the Rock Prefabs.
    The idea is that I create 3 rocks, and wait until they are out of the screen, and every time I destroy 1, create a new one. The thing is that the onBecameInvisible method is never accessed. What am I doing wrong?

    using System.Collections;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using UnityEngine;

    public class createRock : MonoBehaviour
    {
    // Object
    [SerializeField]
    GameObject rockPrefab;

    // spawn control
    const float MinSpawnDelay = 1;
    const float MaxSpawnDelay = 2;
    Timer spawnTimer;
    float allowedRocks = 2;

    private GameObject[] numberOfRocks;


    // spawn location support
    const int SpawnBorderSize = 100;
    int minSpawnX;
    int maxSpawnX;
    int minSpawnY;
    int maxSpawnY;

    /// <summary>
    /// Use this for initialization
    /// </summary>
    void Start()
    {
    // save spawn boundaries for efficiency
    minSpawnX = SpawnBorderSize;
    maxSpawnX = Screen.width - SpawnBorderSize;
    minSpawnY = SpawnBorderSize;
    maxSpawnY = Screen.height - SpawnBorderSize;

    //Check the amount of rocks


    // create and start timer
    spawnTimer = gameObject.AddComponent<Timer>();
    spawnTimer.Duration = Random.Range(MinSpawnDelay, MaxSpawnDelay);
    spawnTimer.Run();
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Update is called once per frame
    /// </summary>
    void Update()
    {
    // check for time to spawn a new rock

    numberOfRocks = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("rockCreated");

    if (numberOfRocks.Length <= allowedRocks && spawnTimer.Finished)
    {

    //print("The Number of rocks is " + numberOfRocks.Length);

    createAnotherRock();

    // change spawn timer duration and restart
    spawnTimer.Duration = Random.Range(MinSpawnDelay, MaxSpawnDelay);
    spawnTimer.Run();
    }

    }

    /// Spawns a new rock at a random location
    void createAnotherRock()
    {
    // generate random location and create new rock
    Vector3 location = new Vector3(Random.Range(minSpawnX, maxSpawnX),
    Random.Range(minSpawnY, maxSpawnY),
    -Camera.main.transform.position.z);
    Vector3 worldLocation = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(location);
    GameObject rock = Instantiate(rockPrefab) as GameObject;

    rock.transform.position = worldLocation;
    }


    void OnBecameInvisible()
    {

    Destroy(this.gameObject);
    }

    }

    I actually tagged the rocks manually, that is why I could use numberOfRocks.Length to stop creating rocks after 3.
    Would that work? Any other idea?
