Hi everyone
So i searched alot on the net for a case just like mine couldnt find any, however this forum had the best experts as i can tell so thats why i signed
The case:
Came back from work n found my 4 yrs old silver aro hangin still upside down in my 10,000 liters pond, touched him n he seemed to move but hardly and struggling for balance (not swiming randomly as a bladder disease) he just seemed to litrally curl himself hard n then just freeze, after that if touched by me he will try his best to swim normally on top like he always do. But he seemed a bit better by maintaining balance later, 4 hours later he seemed rly bad and decided to take him to the ER tank where he dies slowly, mind u there is zero signs for sickness, except for a slight cloudy eyez, everything else seemed perfect, he even ate from my hands lastnight
Background:
I am not a begginer with fish or aquaruims and i always do my homework, Had him since he was tiny (abt 14cm) in a big community aquaruim and then when i started a koi pond he was one of the 1st to be inside,
Background abt the pond
The pond is 10 month old that is made by reputable company, everything is automated and filter cleaning water changes are done periodicaly, i started it in a summer where it can get rly hot here ( dubai 49c) and the aro seemed very hardy and not affected, had couple problems with algea but that usually happens with any new pond right, however in the winter like the last couple weeks it can get to around 10c in the night and knowing kois r superb to anything i never thought of heaters when i was building the pond
Conclusion
Is it decaying algea that killed him? His gills were abit greenish on the corners or is it the cold temp ?
What u think everyone ?
Thanks in advance and sry for making it long i just want to kno what happened
