dying fish-need help please
I am in need of some advice and hope you could help.
I am having a fish die-off. They are goldfish and the pond is about 6 years old. I have never had anything like this happen before. There aren't any appearant signs of infection on the fish. The only symptoms that I see are listlessness at the end of their life. They lose their appetite. There haven't been any plant or fish additions to the pond. The only connection that I have seen is this-toads come to mate in my pond as in previous years. This year, I found a dead toad floating in my pond, which I took out. That was about 3-4 weeks ago. Later, all of the tadpoles died off. There currently are more and they seem to be doing all right. In the past week, I have had 1-3 fish die every day. Is it possible that the toad carried a virus that infected the fish? I have done a water change this past weekend of about 30%. I medicated it twice with a combination of formalin and malachite green. The pond is about 3,000 gallons and has an external filtering system. I am at a loss. None of the diseases that I have seen described match this. I am hoping someone will have some suggestions. Thanks, Ray |
