Message: [QUOTE="Meyer Jordan, post: 319216, member: 7131"] I agree on ceasing the feeding, since you stated that the Goldfish were not eating anyway (a possible symptom). I, however, disagree on this being an Oxygen related problem. There are a couple of reasons that I say this. First, you have said repeatedly that the largest fish is exhibiting absolutely no signs of distress and largest fish are always the first to be affected by depleted oxygen conditions, Secondly, it is known and has been supported by numerous studies that Goldfish can tolerate extremely low Oxygen levels for extended periods of time with no lasting ill effects. Do you know if the water temperature has experienced a sizeable fluctuation lately? Was the heavy rain that you received a cold rain?...and how long did it rain? Have you noticed an accumulation of mucous (slime) on any of the dead fish? [/QUOTE]
