All of my fish have died. Eight weeks ago I had a very bad case of algae over half of my pond. I sprayed cutrine on it, put up a windmill areator, and put aquashade in my pond, all in the same weekend. Last weekend fish were feeding like crazy. Two days later they would not eat at all. Two days after that they were all floating belly up. I had three days of cloud cover and warm temps. I am assuming between the clouds, warm temps, and algea dying, I had a D.O. crash, causing my fish to die. My question is how do I know when it is safe to start restocking my pond? I do not want to stock fish if there is not enough oxygen in my pond to keep them alive. I know I can buy a D.O. meter but I really don't want to spend 400 dollars on one. Can anyone offer any other suggestions? Thanks in advance for any replies.
