Dad bought 6 paradise fish and wanted to place them in the pond outside. And we did place them in a pond, but at that time, we didn't clean out the pond for two years.
Then the next day and the day after that, we had typhoon. Pouring rain swept down into the pond, causing 1 paradise fish to die, probably died of shock from the rain.
After the typhoon, we decided to drain out the pond water and clean the mud inside up. It was very muddy. So, we catch the remaining 5 paradise fish and placed them in a bucket half full of pond water. At that time, I know the fish will jump out of the water, so there wasn't a lot of water in the bucket.
While draining out the pond water, I went out and bought fish food flakes for the paradise fish. When I got back, it's alright dusk in the evening.
The next day, I changed the water in the bucket, as it was full of sticks and muddy scraps. After changing the water, I feed them fish food and went out to check on the pond.
Three hours later, I came back, only to find that 3 more paradise fish is dead, 2 of them outside of the bucket, while 1 sank to the bottom of the bucket. I went ahead and covered up the bucket, and here I am posting about this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, I would like to know a few things, before I continue to make more mistakes:
1. Why would the paradise fish jump out of the water?
2. A paradise fish sinking to the bottom means something is wrong about the water. Is it because of extreme parameters of the pond water?
3. Is it because of sudden changes in the environment that stressed out the fish?
4. What did I do wrong?
That's all of the questions I have. It'll be very grateful to know anything about my wrongdoings.
