Newbie member here, requesting help please. I dug out my pond some 15 years ago and installed some goldfish and golden orfe. The water soon turned green anddid not clear withfilters / u.v. Light etc . When I introduced a pea shinglereed bed feeding a water cascade back into the pond the water cleared in a month and has been clear ever since ( annual cleaning of pea shingle keeps water clear)
One of the golden orfe started looking fat about a year ago (New smaller fish have regularly appeared in the pond -- nature in action!)this fish is now fatter than ever looking more like a puffer fish permanently than the others slim trout like appearance, after a year I no longer think it's full of eggs!?? What do you recon friends ? Is this fish FAT OR SICK.?
Much obliged peter
