ever since i finished my pond and stared cycling.... i have been see more and more dead bird floating in my pond... i finished my pond last week and i already taken around 6-7 birds out of my pond... idk if its the birds but ever since the first bird... i have a major ick problem.. i already lost around 12 goldies... i been treating with ick medicine, salt, melefix, and raise temp... and nothing...
how can i prevent future bird from dieing in my pond??

it looks nasty and its making me feel like crap...

wat can i do?!?!?


:(
 
put a net over it.

or my favorite get a fish that can swallow the birds whole
 
i havent tried the net... for me the net kills the whole idea of having a pond cuz i would have to have it on all day... but i will try it...

bird eating fish???:naughty::grinno:
 
how the heck are they falling in? :screwy: never had that issue with our pond
 
Or you can try a fake owl.

i dont think so...well i dont know.... i have rocks all around the edge .....

should i raise the water level... so if they do fall in they can swim to the edge and climb up
