Thanks for all the feedback. I do have a waterfall and fountain that run
constantly, so I think there is plenty of water being moved. I am honestly
an unscientific ponder, in that I don't check water quality and all that...I
don't even own the tools to do so. Maybe now a therm. would be a good

Thanks again

Not intending to be nasty here, really, but without test equipment and
kits, just reporting your fish died doesn't leave us much to go on. Kind of
like going to the doctor and saying, I'm sick, but you've got to figure it
out Doc, without blood tests.

That said, just guessing, I go with the low O2, high temp theory. Both of
which can not only kill fish, but shut down the bacteria in a filter (if
there is one) or on the sides of the pond & plants, causing ammonia to
rise. Which can fry the gills of the fish so that even when you get O2 in
the water, they still die. ~ jan
