Default fantails dieing help!

gotta find out the water parameters. and find out what the condition of the bottom
of the pond is. if there is a thick layer of rotting debris on teh bottom, they will
root around in it looking for food and get a gill full of hydrogen sulfide and that
will make em float. the other possibility is gross overfeeding.
what kind of aeration in the pond?

a friend's fantails seem to keep coming up to the surface whether they want
to or not. One has died already and the other though it looks fine is not
acting right. It basically seems to not be able to keep itself in a normal
position... Any ideas?
