Yes Ric. After a couple of water changes they are right as rain. Against Martins advice I added a third one - as an insurance policy because I’d hate to see one on its own. They are all very active and begging for food. Plan is a water change at least every fortnight. To be honest I really have the feeling that things went pear shaped due to my lack of knowledge. Feel really guilty, but it will pass eventually

I know I've been told I give dodgy old advice, but I never did a waterchange on my pond in all the years I had it.

Top it up at the end of a very hot day and added pond dechlorinator. Have you use any dechlorinator?

Yes Prime! I dunno Martin - just going belt ‘n’ braces!

Hi Ruth, sorry to hear of your bad experiences with your fish. It is heartbreaking and so frustrating when there is no obvious answer. I am sure you will get to the bottom of it. You have a beautiful pond and garden.
Best wishes as always,
The Lazy Saint.
