All My Fish Died
Hi everyone, I'm new to this newsgroup. My name is Dan, and I live in
Maine. This spring when my pond finally thawed, I found all my fish dead. (goldfish) here were 8 second year fish, about 5", and about 40 small first year fish. (I had actually taken out at least 50 last fall). The pond is about 1000 - 1500 gallons, and about 30" deep. Last winter we had no snow and very cold temps all winter, so it surely froze to the bottom, but 8 of my 15 fish came through fine. This winter we had a lot of snow cover, so it couldn't possibly have been any worse than last winter, yet all the fish died. My only thought is that the pond didn't freeze to the bottom, so the fish stayed somewhat active, and cosequently depleted the oxygen, or starved. But that's just a guess. Any thought on the matter? |
