Strong possibility. Might also be a close lightning strike. |

Or runoff from your lawn. Did you have any fertilizer or pesticides or herbicides on it? Or rapid change in the temperature of the water or just the vibration of all the hail coming down in the water and yard surrounding (same phenomena as pounding the ice with a hammer will do). kathy :-) algae primer http://hometown.aol.com/ka30p/myhomepage/garden.html |

Kenny,
I'm in Tulsa too. Fortunately, I didn't lose any fish last night. What kind of fish? I know someone who is a little overpopulated with goldfish...I could ask them if they want to give a few away (they gave me mine). So sorry for your loss.

We have a lot of torrential downpours and after a lot of rain my fish
don't eat for about a day or two...they just hover around not moving much and when they do they try to jump out or are scratching at the bottom of the pond like something is agitating them. After about a day of "fasting" with "itching" all goes back to normal like nothing ever happened. I have never lost a fish because of too much rain....but it does affect them for sure. Btw Isn't rain water soft? As koi prefer hard water.... |

It may be different in your area, but I suspect polution is pretty bad most large cities anyway. I can't say how much acid is in the rain here, because I don't have a kit that checks that much acid. The last time I tried to do a pH test on runoff water the color went off the scale on the acid end big time. Regards, Hal http://members.cox.net/hrclark1/Index.html |

Thanks to everyone who responded.
As strange as it seems, it is a toss up between the run off and the lightning. Man, all the work and of course the age of the fish. Oh well Mother Nature has its way doesnt it. thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!! AngieB wrote in message ... Kenny, I'm in Tulsa too. Fortunately, I didn't lose any fish last night. What kind of fish?
