I don't think the bladder is the issue, due to other losses in the recent past. Its likely either water quality or a parasite, especially with clamped fins. What did you do with the filter when you fired up the pond this spring?  I did a parasite scraping and nothing was found. Water quality is good and we change water a little very often. We wash the filter in pond water so not to disrupt the bacteria. The fountain runs year round. I realize fish die but I don’t wanna lose my whole crew due to negligence or something stupid
