FAQs

What fish are best for a pond?

The best fish for a pond include koi, goldfish (such as comet and shubunkin varieties), and golden orfe, as these species are hardy, attractive, and well-suited to outdoor pond life. Koi require a larger pond with adequate depth and good care, while goldfish adapt well to smaller ponds. Golden orfe are active schooling fish adding dynamic surface movement. Other hardy species like tench and common carp are suitable for unfiltered or less managed ponds.

What fish are suitable for ponds in the UK?

Popular fish for UK garden ponds include goldfish and their varieties like comet and shubunkin, koi which need larger ponds for optimal health, and native or naturalised species such as tench and common carp that tolerate varying pond conditions. These species are resilient to the UK's temperate climate and variable water quality, making them ideal choices for outdoor ponds.

Which fish clean an outdoor pond?

While no fish completely clean a pond, some can help maintain balance; for example, grass carp consume aquatic plants to control weed growth, mosquito fish help by eating mosquito larvae, and scavenger species like tench aid in reducing detritus. Koi and goldfish also consume leftover food debris, contributing modestly to pond cleanliness but proper filtration and pond maintenance remain essential.

What fish can live in pond water?

Fish like koi, goldfish (including shubunkin and comet varieties), and mosquito fish can live well in pond water when conditions like adequate oxygenation, depth, and water quality are maintained. These species are hardy and tolerate the seasonal temperature fluctuations common in outdoor ponds, making them suitable for UK garden pond environments.
