ROTTING MOUTHS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
I have a newly constructed pond, well it was completed fully summer 2001. All has been well with my koi, golden orf and gold fish up until now that is. I have lost 2 goldfish, there mouths went rotten!! I have treated my pond twice now for all problems that fish can catch. Does anyone out there know what is wrong All my other fish seem to be well, its just the goldfish.

I have created a web site on the construction of my pond, click on the link to have a look.

Hi Shari,

Goldfish can be a problem. I think we had discussed fin&tail rot in the past. Mouth rot is caused by a fungus, typically. It gets expensive to treat the entire pond, so if you can net the fish off and treat them in a sick tank, it may work out better for you here is a link with a little info on some common antibiotics and fungal treatments. If you do a web search on goldfish mouth rot I am sure you'll find more.

Persistent problems generally point to something amiss with water quality, so I would look at that too.
