My pond 4-5 weeks later

[Nepen]

After the first few weeks of dead fish and cloudy water, today after 4-5 weeks, my pond is crystal clear (still a bit brown) and I have no fish died for 2 weeks now.

My Hornworts are growing like crazy and flowering too. My Anubias, Java fern, and Cryptocoryne spiralis are not doing so well though, not sure becasue the salt added or not.

My fish are doing great, my friend didnt come get her fish so I still have about 12-14 goldfish, 3 shubunkins, 3 mollies, 6 guppies, and 4 tiny bottom feeders.

Thank you you guys so much, I learn a lot from here, y'all the best.

Look's good! How many gallons is this? Or how deep is it?

 

[Nepen]

Thanks! It is about 1.5 to 2 feet deep. About 600~ gallon.

I'm hoping to get more water plants but the hornwort are growing so fast I'm not sure I need more right now

All kinds of grasses work and suck up all the bad stuff

arggg... I jinked myself by saying there was no dead fish for a couple of weeks. The day I posted this my favoirite goldfish died of no reason... just laied there at the bottom of the pond. No wound, no bent body, no scale missing... just a little biggish belly so I think he might be constipated, but too late now since he's already dead. The water is good.

My favoirite goldfish, which started out being pale color with black along his back, then turn golden and the black was fading - too bad he died

oh.. I didnt do anything to him.. just put him in seperately from other fish, and the next morning I was sure he was dead then I put him in my garden bed. Next time I'll try rubbing the belly Thanks!
