MY FISH STORY:
I have a pond which I divided into two, one measuring about 7ft x 5ft x 6ft the other 7ft x 3ft x 6ft. I put juveniles I'm both ponds. In the larger pond, the fishes are doing well infact I need to sort them as the big fishes are terrorising the small fishes. I would have loved to sort them using the smaller pond as housing for the small size fishes but this I can't because the fishes I put in this small pond has been dieing. About 40 deaths so far. I have changed the water several times, put 1500gms (though I don't know if this was enough) and now I've had to remove the remaining fishes to wash the pond thoroughly. So much algae formed in the pond and I had to wash everything off. I've got this feeling that something polluted the pond and the fishes became infected. I'm thinking of getting multivitamins for the fishes left to boost their immunity and put some of the fishes in the bigger pond where the fishes there are doing fine.
Just felt I should update this story. Thanks.

Too much algae can cause disease outbreak in a pond.. You should try and wash your pond more often to prevent disease..

40 mortality is very high,that is to say there is an epidemic.. Its a good thing u washed the pond, and you should observe them diligently for some days and. Kindly get back to us if the death persist so as to know the next course of action.. God bless

Thanks. I washed the pond thoroughly, but i'm currently treating the fishes out of the pond with antibiotics (aquadex plus) though i should have used anti-fungal as well and i'm also giving them multivitamins (livestovit which Excelsoir prescribed, thanks to him). So far they are doing fine and i hv seen improvement in their activities. Thanks 1derful people.

It depends on how fast it gets dirty.. Sometimes once in one or two months.. Algae forms when the pond is not shaded from direct sunlight..

They are suffering from what I call "skin away" crisis.. I will suggest you remove the fish from the pond and wash the pond thoroughly then pump in water just to cover the base of the pond and add salt.. Put them back inside the pond and after six hours, pump water into the pond to the normal level...observe them and keep up updated..
