It was the neighborhood...I am wondering now if I had a short...I got a voltohm meter and measured near the top of the pond and was unable to measure any current.

At this point, I have disconnected all my in pond electric heaters and pumps just in case I had short from one of those. I am doing partial water changes and adding salt (athough I know that is not really doing them any good).

The fish about the same, I can get one or two to come eat after swiming spasmodically to me,, the others are stuck at the bottom.

This is such a sad situation, I am doubtful this condition can reverse.
