Good possibility that some kind of contaminants somehow found its way into pond or maybe, just maybe high temp during daytime, especially shallow pond regardless of volume of water?

yes the pond is always muddy after rain and my pond is about 3 ft deep so i dont think the temp. has anything to do with it.

Being muddy after a rain tells me that something probably got washed in - some type of chemical or smog out of the air or something...Doing a major water change (at least 75% with a water conditioner such as Prime) after a rainstorm, especially if it hasn't rained for a while, should keep this situation from happening again. Did you do a water change yet? Are you still losing fish?

well the fish just kept dying even after the WC so i moved the 2 remaining ones into my 10g and they are doing great feeding them goldfish flakes and doing a WC every couple of days.
