i went to cheack the pond before i go and buy some new fish and there are dead leaves in it would they kill fish when the put out gases when they are rotting away??

    The gas is natural and escapes by surface movement, if there is a deep layer and those gasses can't escape they can become lethal generally most leaves are fine although some have proven to kill.

    All outside ponds are going to get leaves in them, its a fact of life.

    No, they're fine. Just don't let the muck and rotting leaves pile up so deeply in the pond that there isn't any room for the fish and you'll be ok.
