7 dead fish in a fortnight - UK
Our pond is approx 3775 litres and we have around 40 goldfish in there, plus
frogs, a few plants and a fitration system which has been running all winter. The winter this year has been exceptionally mild and most days we have been giving the fish wheatgerm sticks. Oveer the past fortnight, we've lost 7 fish. (2 biggish ones, but the rest juvenile black/silver ones) The symptoms seem to be sluggishness, difficulty keeping upright, followed by a pigeon-chested, bloated look and finally death. I just euthanased the most recent one with clove oil. Any idea what the problem could be? Could it be the feeding? I've not given them anything except wheatgerm since about October last year. We've just got new foam filters and a new UV for the pump, but at the moment, I'm reluctant to disturb anything. Checked the pH and it was neutral. Don't know what this could be, and any help/suggestions would be gratefully received. Tracey |
