so the warm weather passed and my pond sits at about 60 degrees.

first my luestic channel cat died,
then my bullhead
then just a week ago my golden oscar died
yesterday my golden koi died
then my pl*co today and i took my other oscar out just now and revived him so now he's sitting in the kitchen in a 40 gal tub with a 30-60gal HOB filter.

he swimming around nose up (outta the water mostly) wich i think is better than floating on its side, he's burped a few bubbled and it seemed to help his bouyancy.

all my other fish are fine (crayfish, bluegill, well im not sure i cant really see the BG's, goldfish and koi are all fine)

i dont get it.....PH is 7.1 ammonia is 2, and im not sure about the nitrites/nitrates. we just did a 50% water change today and vacuumed the bottom.
 
That is actually strange.. Gut feeling is that the weather was not your killer.. Well maybe for the Oscar.. But the Bullhead???? We have them in lakes that freeze over:(
 
no, i usually over flow about 50 gal a week and have had noproblems.

i pulled my pl*co out and it had blood dripping outta its mouth....none of the other fish had this and i couldnt find any parasites ro anything...

we cleaned it tuesday. first fish died in sept. then the others started to die.

as of this morning the oscar looked better but not too good. id check on him nowbut imin school right now...

so when i get home around 5:30 ill check the fish and the pond again.
