Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I'm sure the topic title had caught your attention

I've had a few unexplained trout deaths recently and one today (have seen a couple this before) looks like it had been melting! I'm hoping it's just because it had been dead a few days before I noticed. It was on the bottom, not floating.

Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate are all 0.

Having trouble embedding picture (have followed IMG instructions) but url is below.

Any advice would be great! Thanks

Bacterial attack breaking it down I'd say.

So nothing to be concerned over you think? The rest of the trout look fine (they always do until they die).

And thanks for image tip! Have been using my phone but will post from comp in future if need pictures.

Yep, after about 12 hours they will start looking like that.

You should get into advertising, gave me AND hubby a chuckle and he thinks none of my funnies are funny.
