Like Russ, the rusty color makes me suspicious (doubtful) of a dam leak. However, you could have a bottom or side leak that is leaching through a rocky area and exiting behind the dam.

Try catching some of it in a jar and see what settles out. That might tell you whether the "leak" is going through a rocky area.


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.
