So that's it then

One of my worst days ever today, I've had to euthanise 3 of my goldfish. They just weren't getting any better and they were suffering. I know just have a tench in my 300litre pond. He's all alone, so I'm considering rehoming him and forgetting the whole pond thing until next year. I'm too heartbroken to go through all this again.

Sorry to hear of their loss. Don’t give him away, until you know what killed them, on the off chance it’s a parasite or other communicable infection. You don’t want to risk another’s fish. Not sure what a tench is, but maybe you can set up a quarantine tank for it and slowly replace the pond water with fresh until it’s just in fresh water. For sure, you want to know the cause before you consider adding more fish.

I known you’ve probably already said, but how big is your pond and what kind of filtration do you have?

Hi, yes I'm still here, although I no longer have any fish. The one surviving fish was rehomed to a friend of mine, he has an established well maintained pond, much bigger than mine. He's kept fish for over 20 years, so knows what he is doing.

We may get new fish next spring, but for now our pond has been drained
