demitri Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 just a chlorine till they all die (wont be much from the pool shop) then wait about a month for it to dissipate (can tell when this happens when algae grows back) then add new fish. Note this will kill all other fish and snails in pond too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshie Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Problem with just killing everything is as all those bodies rot up you're water is going to not only be deadly for months, the stench from it would drive you nuts! Introducing bigger fish to get rid of them will only create a bigger problem later, how to get rid of the other fish. I'd suggest talking to MAF or else talk to local fire brigade, few beers, an opportunity to have some practice with their hoses and pumps. Or throw a big pump in there and spend summer watering the local fields. I suspect throwing in non-predacious fish like comets and pacu will only result in the gambusia teaming on them and eatting out their eyes.
