Hello all...
My Wiggles doesn't seem to be very well. I've just fed him peas and now his fin is down and he's just doing nothing at the bottom of our pond. I'm worried, he didn't actually eat the peas, he spat them out straight away. I'm really worried, our fish have been very healthy until now. Please help me!!! I don't know what to do!

wow errmm..i don't really know this stuff, but i'll give it a go...
Well, the pond is relatively small.
The filter is from "fish mate" I think it is a 1000?
I've never changed the water before, because I haven't had the pond for very long.
I have 5 fairly big fish, about 13cm, then I have two smaller fish which are about 7-8cm, and some of the big fish have had loads of babies, and I can't count them all, but they're very small, about 3cm at the most?
I don't use any water additives or conditioners.
No medications.
The baby fish are very new and the 2 smaller fish have been in my pond for about 6 months.
I feed my fish Nishikoi pellets, and I sink them in water before I feed them to my fish.
I don't think that there's any unusually findings, they seem to be well to me.
YES, my Wiggles, when he had his fin down, he was stayed at the bottom of my pond, and not moving much at all.
