Very Poorly Oranda Really Need Help!

[Liz1993]

Ok so I had to baby orandas which I got to add to my pond, I put them in 3 days ago and when i checked yesterday one was stuck to the filter barely alive and one was flating upside down which i thaught was dead, it turns out the one which was stuck to the filter died and the other is still alive, I think something had attacked them as they have like red marks on them where they look injured, and the one which is alive has one fin which he cant use, but he is eating and looking well, ive made a extra little tank with holes in to put in the pond and hes in there at the moment obviously i will have to make permanent arrangements but i dont know what to do, can anyone advise anything i can do so hes still in the pond?

Do you have other goldfish in the pond?

Orandas can only live outside in ponds during the summer; you'll have to sort out a tank or something for the winter. For now a large plastic storage box will work; but it will need a filter of some kind as well.
