There was a recall not too long ago with pet food and effected numerous different brands that were manufactured in the same factory. @ Sandi

The pond and fish were 7 years old. Many people like to walk their children by and look at the fish. It has cost me quite alot of money for new fish. We purchased our new Koi from Wild Bird Crossing in Seaville, N.J. 9 total. I still have the package of food. The fish have been burriedby my daughters friend Vicky. The was one Koi left in the bottom of the pond. I drained The pond imediately. The fish we saved was hanging out under the filter.

If it hasn't been mentioned, save and freeze some of the aquarium water in case you want it tested, and so a food manufacturer can't claim some other random disease. Personally I stopped feeding my Bearded Dragon his commercial chow because I was afraid as soon as I heard fish food was affected. It seems possible anything could be contaminated these days. so now he gets homefed insects, and greens from our non-sprayed fields, and people food. Tammy I am so sorry you lost your fish.

Pretty easy. And it's for registered members sections where we can list an addy for Email {if we want to and for one that we might not use for anything else but Itchmo stuff and members} I made a new one for Itchmo stuff at my ISP and listed it. There is a members only listing section after you register. {for who we are} There is also alot of info In the Forums to read up on too. You should start a category for Fish! prblems, health, photos etc. Would be nice :-) I'll check back here to see if you have any problems. Okey dokey!

I know it sounds horrid right now but Please save the Food {Is it a dry?} If frozen keep it in a well shut zip-loc and write Do Not Use on it! Then I know it might be very difficult but can you freeze a couple of you pet fish that have died? Just as they as and ASAP. Get New food, maybe even Fresh? Can yu do that? OR if you feel it was Fresh that made them sick, see if you can find food that is closer to NOW for expiration date. Meaning made longer ago. {hopefully before the Poisoning time frame} Clean/wash out what ever you have them in. The excretment might continue to contaminant the water the living ones are in still. Are these Japanese Koi? Next I would suggest getting a hold of one of the Attorneys dealing with the Pet food recalls suits. I think there is a list of them here in ItchmoForums. One I can think of off the top of my head is in Fl. But no matter: www.mflegal.com CALL them, find their # on their website! Ask their advice on what to do legally. Becaus this is HORRID! Maybe they ca advise an attorney in the suits in your State. BUT this classifies the same as a Cat and or Dog! I know it might be terribly hard but Please freezea couple. Then if you belong to a Fish Club or can get on line hunt for a Koi or whatever Club. Ask them wo you could send the remains to for necropsy for a few of the fish. {fish are easier and cheaper than fish for such if my memory serves me.} This isno Different or easiert than Other folks loss of pets Tammy. YOU Count ad they count too here in this. Beside I imagine they were Loved and expensive too. {I cried when my SeaHorse died as a kid :-( I loved it.} Please Tammy hang in there. Did you ever use a "fish" Vet in the past you coud call??? Gawd Almighty! So Sorry, I hope I helped, but probably not much. Keep Us posted. Please. Tammy, I am Floored and So Sorry for you and family over this!

I'm so sorry, it sure does sound like the food. Was it one of these brands? You should definitely contact the store where you bought it & the manufacturer, & get some new food for any that are still alive. How to know what is safe for the fish food? You won't have any clue as to what's OK to buy now since this is just starting for the fish. Is it possible to temporarily 'home feed' the survivors until you know which ones are safe? Maybe try aquarium forums--I know there are some out there. If you can afford to have the food tested, do so. In any case, save it just in case you can have it tested later.
