Yesterday I went outside and found 2 goldfish floating and gasping. I though oh no they are dying. We had had some trouble with a pump and had turned it off for a couple of days. I had put a pump in the pond for air only. My husband and I are both having back trouble and gettin shots in our back. So we are slow doing things this year. Well I went to garage got a net and started putting goldfish in another pond. The first one that was floating came back real quick. The second one was in bad shape. I took the net with him in it and swished him through the water to get air into his mouth. Next I put him so his mouth would have air from the pump go into it. I was making a last ditch effort to save him. Then I started ripping hornwort out of the pond so fish could get more air. I went inside and came back later he was still on his side gasping. The second time I came out he was swimming and is fine. He is just one of my goldfish I have had for years I hardly ever loose a fish. And I didn't this time either even throught our stupidity.
