Does anybody know why?
The pond is clear from blanket weed, and they have been feeding well on a sinking Sterlet food. We have had them a few months, and they were growing well.
We found them both dead yesterday - No wounds or marks on the bodies.

Sounds like they had a virulent fish disease. Or it could have been due to over feeding. It is unwise to feed fish this time of year unless you are using a special formulated winter feed.
You say that your pond is free from blanket weed, but this could also mean that your pond is lacking in oxygen. Do you have a pump working and do you have oxygenating pond weeds to provide sufficient oxygen for the fish. I had the same problem a long time ago and was most upset when I lost some of my fish.
Par of the course in keeping fish. We are learning all the time.

How huge a tank do you have? That many goldfish could create a extensive volume of waste. examine your water high quality, see if something is in basic terms too intense. extra extremely examine the ammonia, nitrate and nitrites, those are the selection on killers. additionally, did you do a water replace? Did you chlorinate the water? this may be an effortless way for them to die besides. suited of success!

Funny, mine died yesterday too. Again, no outward signs or disease. I am guessing that lack of oxygen in the water (less sun, less plant activity) did it. Could be falling leaves. Anyone else had this problem?
