If I could come and physically see the pond, I would gladly drain it down for you and dredge the silt at the bottom for any clues, as well as take skin swab and faecal samples and from any surviving fish and place them under a microscope.

I don't know what is happening to them. The last few I hve lost have been in the tank but these were in the pond.
