Deaths

[Martin Thomas]

I have lost 9 goldfish over the last 2 months from my garden pond. I have
had the water tested, the results of which were fine.I am concerned that I
am loosing water and having to top the pond up with water from the mains and
that this may be having a detrimental effect?
Can you suggest any other reasons why the fish may be slowly dying?
TIA
Martin

I'd check with teh texperts but whilst they may nto like tap water top
ups I think they are highly unlikely to actually kill any fish.

More information that I suspect people will you ask for are:
Where you are and what your water co. is
Size of pond and filters etc.
Stocking density.

Have you been using any chemicals anywhere in the garden?

Best of luck
