Laying on their sides

[Meyer Jordan]

Meyer, inside their gills are very red and 1 lost his slime and color from his back. Is it possible that they ate some debris that landed in the pond before I got to clean it?

How much and what size debris did you find in the pond? The fish could have very easily been struck by a piece of wind-driven debris. Remember, these fish were subjected to everything that you sought protection from by remaining indoors.

They are potected buy a pergola over them but there was a lot of leaves and berry type things from a tree. No large debris.It seems to be my 3 largest. And my black ones back has changed color and lost his slimeyness their gills look very red. My white one seems extra slimey and the 1st one to show signs died.

I have 1 waterfall and 2 fountains. So when pumps are working plenty of water movement.

@Mom , I'm so sorry for all you're enduring. We have family in Palm Bay and their power was just restored. We also have family in Naples, and their power came on for 24 hours, then out again...indefinitely.

Same here.

Extra thick slime coat indicates stress. Gills should be red.
As stated before, these fish have been subjected to extreme stress. Time is the only cure for this. There is not really anything that you can do until power is fully restored and even then your responses may be limited.

Certainly possible that the storm carried some bad contamination... why not do a 90% water change?

I think red inside the gills is a good sign - blood and oxygen. Never known leaves or berries to be a problem. Can you check the water? It was when my fish's gills turned from red to grey that they perished.

Unless the pond was overcome with flood water, I don't know what kind of "bad contamination" a storm would bring, even a really bad storm. Rain isn't poisonous even in a hurricane. However if it washed other stuff into the pond, that would be a concern.

I'm with @Meyer Jordan on this one - your fish have been stressed, they need some time. Hopefully they will recover.
