Why Are All My Fish Hiding?
#1
On thursday last week I noticed that my normally friendly fish had not been to the surface for a while. I didn't think anything of it untill the weekend when they still hadn't shown. They had not eaten any food so I was geting worried, I was thinkiing that someone had nicked them or the local heron had had them. Usually they would at least dart from one peice of cover to the next, but nothing. I went out on the saturday night and shone my torch into the water and there they all were right at the bottom of the deepest part of the pond milling about.
There has been a lot of rainfall recently and the pond overflows when it is full, could it be due to a change of water quality?
There are a lot of tadpoles in the pond could they be gorged on these?
They have been spawning during the last month could they be exhausted?
Any ideas as to why they still haven't come to the top for food yet?
