Hi All
I know I have been rather or totally out of order so I admit it.
We have a pond in our garden and we got 4 goldfish. 1 for each of the kid's.
This was many many months ago.
Well to say we let the pond go is an understatement. It became a stagnant hole
with green water and lots of algea. We thought all the fish had died as we did not
see any for a while. But tonight I was in the garden and low and behold there was a glimpse
of something golden just under the water. I ran upstairs and got some food for them and fed them
Miracle of miracles, 4 little heads appeared out of the water. I felt terrible that I had left them in this
state, thinking they had passed on. I filled a bucket with water from the pond and drained about half
of the pond out. 10pm at night , the neighbours must have wondered what was going on. I then caught
the fish and placed them in the bucket. I then filled the pond up again and then placed the little ones back
in the pond.
I examined them all closely and they all seem in terrific condition for what they have been through. There is
1 really large one and the other 3 are smaller. The pump was still running so maybe this kept them going.
Gosh I feel so guilty while typing this. The thing is now what do I do.
Do I keep doing a regular water change, for how long, how much etc.
Help!!!!!!
A very embarrassed and ashamed.
