If there are no test kits available, tell us:
-date water was added
-date fish were added
-complete list of chemicals, meds, bacteria that has been added to date
-are there any plants or algae present?

API makes a good liquid test kit, http://www.apifishcare.com/product.php?id=580#.WYHkq60ZPSc
Is this test kit and other API products available in your country?

You won't believe it but there are no liquid test kits available to but in the town I live. I found two buy both expired in 2015 so I didn't buy them! I'm still fishing in the dark. Can you recommend one I can buy online?

YOu can get one from amazon. API freshwater master test kit.

I thought I'd give an update for other new fish pond owners.
After two weeks of water testing, everything is fine each time I test. My fish was hospitalized for 10 days, in a separate floating container. It was constantly on its side but would swim well when disturbed. I treated the water once with bacteria and fungus meds and then fed it peas twice. Three days ago it was swimming so well, no falling over that I decided to put it back with the others. Fantastic news, it is swimming beautifully and looking very good indeed. From practically dead to a beautiful healthy fish! Thanks for the advice!
