Help please! - Fish eating poisoned fireants filing into waterfall - advise?
A well-intentioned relative found a huge fireant mound near the top of my waterfall and sprayed it with ant killer after he was bit by one. When I heard this, I ran out to find my Koi and goldfish in a feeding frenzy on all these fireants that escaped into the waterfall and fell into the main pond (or fell dead into it). There were probably a hundred fireants going over the falls just while I stood there freaking out because most of them were sprayed and dead and I could see a light film on the waterfall edge where the spray got in the water, but it has become too dark for me to see now. I sprinkled 3-4 tablespoons of Koi clay around the falls where the ants were going down because I read something somewhere how the Koi Clay will remove toxins in the water. ??? Will it help? What else can I do? Besides pray my fish don’t die? Any advice?
