Just as a guess, Id say the new pond is a tad colder than the older more
established (3y +) pond
I didnt think to take the temperature...how do i check for ich or flukes?The
little speedsters are tough enough to catch, never mind an exam :-)

what was the temp of the water in the new pond compared to the old pond?
hanging around the waterfall persistently is an oxygen problem, could be
they have
ich or flukes. Ingrid

Help, I just transplanted my fish (4 goldies and 2 shubunkins) from my
old
pold into my new pond. The fish are all about 2 years old. The new pond
has
a waterfall entering from above on one side. The fish seemed fine for the
1st two days but now they are prone to hanging around the bottom of the
falls and trying to leap upstream. Did they suddenly have a trout like
urge
to migrate or is this a sign of something wrong in the water? Other than
that they sem happy. Any suggestions?
The old pond is similar in size,depth and shape to the old pond if this
matters. Just looks kind of weird
