Message: [QUOTE="LorraineT, post: 312697, member: 8725"] Our pond company has been trying to figure out what happened and so far we have discovered that our water has no chlorine and they put chemicals in to neutralize the chlorine because they didn't test first! The company owner is very upset that his employees did not follow protocol which should have prevented the problem in the first place. They did drain and refill the pond on Tuesday and yesterday they introduced 6 new koi into the pond. The fish seemed happy last evening as they were getting used to their new home and this morning but hid out most of the day. This afternoon the bubbling problem seemed to get worse and now it looks like soap clinging to the plants and bubbling over the rocks in the waterfall! We have checked the Ph and it is high so with the advice of the pond guy we added baking soda and will check again shortly. The barley bale that I had in was removed during the cleaning so I just added a new one and that may be helping withe bubbles. We also purchased bacteria to add because the bacteria balls had been rinsed off but nothing new added. I REALLY hope we can keep these fish alive! Thanks everyone here for your concern! We are really wanting to get this once healthy pond back to normal AND keep the fish happy. [/QUOTE]
