We've got more problems at the backyard bass pond. There's a bass swimming around the pond with a white residue on it's eyes! It's totally weird and I don't know what caused it. This fish doesn't look healthy and probably hasn't been eating since it simply can't see well enough to catch the fast moving minnows and baitfish in the pond. I try to net the fish so that we can get a better look at the white growth around it's eyes. I'm hoping someone can tell me what this problem is with this fish. I'm also hoping this disease or bacteria doesn't spread to the other pond bass. We have to catch this fish before it risks passing on the infection to the other healthy bass.

    Wish I could help ! The fish have a problem all came from the same place ? If so , ask them if they have had the same problem with their fish . Make sure you keep your hands sanitized . Good luck !

    Hopefully not the same but I keep aquariums and there’s a couple of pretty contagious diseases that can cause this. There’s medications for this but I have no idea how to does a pond.

    Did the crawfish ever establish in your pond?
  • @anthonycardona89
    How many acres is your pond? You can use goggle earth to trace the edge and it will tell you

    I'd look into getting some professional testing or knowledge. Too much going on and something is up. Sorry.
