Maxine, perhaps you only visit this site occasionally to ask a question, but many people on here are regular contributors and regard each other as old friends. They chat and joke together as friends do, and if some have a somewhat dry way of putting things or a more robust sense of humour, well that's just people for you. It doesn't mean they are setting out to offend.
I did have a bent fish in a previous pond, it was an orfe, I was going to say self-seeded, but whatever the fish equivalent is. It seemed to manage life OK but looked rather odd.
What about physical damage darren? We had great diving beetle larvae in their hundreds one year and they attacked a couple of small fish, would that have done it?
I can't remember all the details now, it's best part of 30 years ago. I only do wildlife ponds in my current garden.
