If you are planning a koi pond in the garden, evaluate the available water volume before buying fish. A common rule is about 2.5 cm of fish length for every 37 liters of water. For example, a pond with 190 to 200 liters could hold one 15 cm fish, two 8 cm fish, or several very small fish. If you are unsure about the pond’s real capacity, underestimate rather than overstock.
When choosing fish, look carefully at the shop’s tanks. Avoid aquariums with dead fish, damaged fins, or missing body parts.
Which Fish Are Best For A Garden Pond?
Goldfish and comet-tail fish belong to the same broad family and are available in many variations. With good care, they can live for many years and may reach up to 30 cm in length. They are suitable for garden ponds because they can tolerate cold conditions, and their colors can range from gold and orange to red, white, brown, or mixed combinations.
Raising Fish In A Koi Pond
Fantails are a more delicate variety and can grow to about 12 cm. Do not mix them with larger, more aggressive pond fish. Koi belong to the carp family and are among the most popular garden-pond fish. Because their bright colors can attract birds, they need proper protection. With care, koi can become familiar pets, even eating from your hand, but they are hungry fish and may eat pond plants such as water lilies.
