Also curious about location.

The 2 big things that I look for are PH and alkilinity. But if you can get a swimming pool test kit, you can come close as a lab can. That would be a good start.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
