First of all what is your water quality like? Have you done a test to check the Amonia,Nitrite,PH and nitrate of the water if not that would be my first thought that it is in bad water and a fish of that size should be eating dayly. Is there any chance that it could have eaten anything from in...

YOU WILL NEVER be able to heat a pond of that size or even filter it you will be beter off making the pond in your basment bigger so it can live there for life. Nice fish shame it is stunted! you see the way its nose is starting to curve down that is a sighn it is in to small of a tank. get it...

As i have already said the problem is water quality with both of the fish shown. High nitrite and amonie causes the fish to lose its mucus layer in areas alowing for sores to form then bacteria can get to the fish causing very bad infection. Peeves you still have a chance to safe your fish if...
