Goldie RIP sadly
Goldie is the big golden chap in the centre, seemingly doing fine a day or too back, but looking a bit quiet this morning on the bottom of the pond; sadly dead.
Bit of a panic water chemistry wise but all good after testing, or at least vaguely acceptable, so maybe just bad luck. For several years he was clearly their leader, as when you fed them, they'd ignore it until Goldie came up to eat then the rest would follow. As the greediest fish, he was for many years the largest, and certainly the fattest.
We'd had them for about 5 or 6 years and from about 4" but he was over a foot long. Sad to lose him, a fish with character, but hopefully bad luck rather than looming disaster due to mismanagement.
