sick goldfish??
Hello,
I have a garden pond in the UK, about 20 ft x 15 ft. The pond has no pump, but lots of plants (and blanket weed) but the water is generally v clear & seems healthy. A few days ago, I noticed a dead goldfish floating on the surface. There were no obvious signs of injury / disease. Now, today, one of the larger fish is rather 'dopey', and has pronounced white blotches around it's face. I managed to scoop it up quite easily & you'll see from photo linked from below that it also has small, dark spots on its side. http://www.pbase.com/image/15963257 Neither the original, dead fish, or any of the others now in the pond displayed any of these signs. Am I worrying unnecessarily, or does it look like there's something nasty going on? NB although I have few fish, the pond is essentially given over to frogs, dragonflies etc so I'm reluctant to treat the water with anything which might adversely affect the wildlife I'd be grateful for any advice - thanks Sarah |
