Smallpond Junior Member S Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 9 Prairieville,LA	Found a CNB 6" swimming around on top of water column with some kind of growth in mouth. Caught fish with net with no problem and stuff in mouth that was attached looked like FLA. Took most of stuff out, but doubt fish will survive.Pond conditions - water temp. in upper 50's and water clear to about 20" - fish still eating but not as much, so feeding what they will eat in ten min. once a day- No aerator runing to keep thermocline stable- lots of rain lately so pond steadily draining and clouds up slightly but clears within a day or so.Need help very scared that I will find more fish but need to know if I can do anything to prevent it and if anyone else is or had this problem before.Hopefully I am scared for nothing and won't find anymore. Thanks in advance, Mahase .

In that thread is a link to Bill Cody's archive and a link I provided about a sick winter BG thread which has lots of info. http://www.pondboss.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=20;t=003668 Sick winter BG thread http://www.pondboss.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=000311
