Sad news for me

I've had an Ogon, Kohaku and Goldfish for over 15 years. They're all dead.
I had the termite exterminators over Saturday and suspect some of the
poison got in the pond. sigh

Thanks, Jan. I'm still bummed about it. They've gone to a higher calling.
They were buried in the backyard and a young guava tree planted on top of
them. My wife, Jun, is so kewl!

I'm sure that tree will grow wonderfully! I know I've had a good
crop of veggie at times. Still, hurts, especially when it is the older
ones. :-( ~ jan

OH GOD, that is horrible. I live in terror of some knob next door deciding to spray
their apple trees with "ecofriendly" bug sprays, most of them pyrethrum which are
deadly to my fish. I have fruit trees I dont spray until last year they got
something really nasty and my pond is set up so 2 sheets will cover the whole thing
and I stapled the sheets on and close sprayed the two affected trees with malathion,
then changed 1/2 the water after.
DO contact the exterminators because they should not have used something that could
poison the pond or at least not apply it so it would. it is their responsibility.
again. soooo sorry. Ingrid

You don't have to worry too much about malathion, it is a cheap man's
treatment for flukes in the pond. Course you wouldn't want to spray it over
an unprotected pond, as it doesn't take much product to treat a pond for
flukes. I know for a 100 gallon stock tank it was something like 4 drops.

It is not the way I'd go now days, much prefer Prazi, even though the price
is outrageous. ~ jan

I know. that is why I use malathion... just in case it does get in the toxicity is
very low. for flukes I would still use PP unless it was dacs, then I would use a
peroxide dip ala Jo Ann. even if it meant draining the pond and dipping them.
every so often I see a bird fly overhead and see crap hit the pond. Ingrid
