comet suddenly died, need advice


Question
have a 6'x4'x2'pond with 6 comets ranging in size from 3-6 inches long.  have had them about 3 weeks. found one dead this am, no signs of trauma or illness. she is white/yellow.  removed her, and put some melafix in the water as a precautionary measure.  any other advice? my white ones are always the first to go...

Answer
Hi Ellen,

It is always good when buying new fish to keep them in quarentine for a few days.
It also good to make sure that the water temperature is the same.

Besides melafix a salt bath could be given to them, but I would wait a couple of weeks before doing that.

Good luck

Carlo
