Unhappy slow comets

hi , i,v just put 2 sasara comets in a 25 gallons outdoor pond , have put oxygenating plants in two weeks before putting comets in , they been in now three days but they hardly move from the bottom of the pond and when they do they move slowly around or just float inbetween the top and bottom of the pond together, there is no filter in the tank but there is a solar pond pump because its in the shape and they just hang about under there, i feed them once a day and don,t see them each much , ( floating food )but in the morning all food is gone , don,t know if its been eaten or sunk , please help i,m new to fish and don,t want to kill them .

I suspect lack of oxegen. Test for ammonia/nitrites, with nitrites being a prime suspect, with hi temps in 3rd. if you get any readings get a filter on there, which you should do regardless.
