Diablos , pero que escasos de palabras son todos en este sitio.Haces tres preguntas y solo rodean el tema , nadie aqui es consiso, exacto.Me da la impresion que pierdo mi tiempo a veces.Para llegar a una respuesta hay que escribir 4 o 5 ocasiones y aun asi tengo que adivinar lo que quieren decir.

Vi que tienes piedras en el fondo. Eso muchas veces loque hace es capturar y acumular sucio. Posible que no tienes suficiente filtro mecahnico??? que es lo que recoje lo sucio.

Tambien haces cambios de agua regularmente????

Yo inicie mi pond cometiendo muchos errores que ahora estoy pagando. Traje plantas del los everglades , de los canales de la calle 8, peces ( golden shiners) de los que se usan para pescar truchas, sembre plantas con tierra del jardin. Cuatro meses despues , los resultados son esos.Peces enfermos .No he tenido muertes , pero hay que estar alerta.Por otro lado los productos para la AMMONIA no funcionan como dicen.Yo trato la amonia en el agua del grifo(agua de la ciudad) y no le baja la concentracion.Trato con muchos productos y no he estabilizado uno solo , buscando mejores precios.
Y asi ando, mañana comienzo a hacer un pozo de agua , pues el bill me ha venido muy alto, el pond me consume mucha agua .

you need biological filtration and mechanical filtration, like the ones in the diy section, how many gallons is your pond???? I have a 22 gall one and it works great for what i have. What size is your pump???? Buy some benefical bacteria after you build your pump to kick start it. after your water change you can buy the kick start liquid they sell. Follow directions. as for your fish, you may want to take pics and have someone here diagnose what the problem is so you can cure them. its a process but you will need to start somewhere
