Well gutted, had the gold one since he was 4 inches long.
The ghostie I had off my uncle.
All the other fish were gulping for air this morning.



Got the hose blasting water into the pond now but cant understand how oxygen levels dropped so low

Oh no :( Gutted for you Si :(

Probably the rain last night mate..


What a shitter :(

sorry to see that picture matey hope the others are ok it happened to me some years ago i ended up filling the pond in :( :(

Sad to see that pickie SS :(

There was a large low pressure over the weekend (possibly into this week?) - would that contribute to reduced oxygen levels

Cheers everyone. All the other fish are still OK, hope it stays that way.
The hose for the waterfall had blown into the pond and was not creating and splashing like it normally does. Thats the only thing I can think of that was different.
Was well windy again as all the plants were knocked over. Got a big rock on it now ::)

Thats a sad sight, real shame that Simps :( cracking fish them mate


Like Lee said, i think the torrential rain last night could be the cause :(

Si get a cheap pump and fix a pipe to it and shoot the water 6 inches into the air so the water goes up then back into the pool. Put it the oppersit end to the water fall so you have another load of water going aswell then if 1 fails the other will still be there to give a fresh oxygen supply. Simular to how your uncle as that frog spitting water into the pond .

Buy an air pump like me from hollybush £25 works great

its the low pressure mate that does it especially at night time when oxygen level drops

Cheers for the suggestions. Will certainly look into both

what a shame si they are nice fish ,realy sad to see

So Sorry To See That Si :(
