Pond Livestock — Fish, Koi, and Aquatic Life for Your Garden Pond

Whether you're setting up a new pond or looking to add to an existing one, choosing the right pond livestock is one of the most rewarding parts of pond ownership. At Aquascape, we source healthy, high-quality pond fish and aquatic life from trusted suppliers around the world, and we can arrange delivery straight to your door.

Pond Fish — From Goldfish to Premium Koi

We stock a wide range of pond fish to suit every pond size, budget and taste. Whether you're after a few hardy, colourful goldfish to bring life to a modest garden pond, or you're an experienced keeper searching for high-grade Koi to add to a dedicated Koi pond, we can help.

Goldfish and Coldwater Fish

Goldfish are the classic choice for garden ponds and with good reason — they're hardy, sociable, and come in a wonderful variety of shapes and colours. We typically stock common goldfish, shubunkin, sarasa comets, and fantails, as well as other coldwater varieties that do well in UK outdoor ponds year-round.

Koi Carp

Koi are the jewel of the pond world. We source Koi from quality breeders, including imported fish from Japan and other leading producing countries, across a range of grades to suit both hobbyists and serious collectors. If you're looking for a specific variety — Kohaku, Sanke, Showa, Ogon, or others — get in touch and we'll do our best to source exactly what you're after.

Orfe and Rudd

Golden orfe and rudd are popular choices for larger ponds. Fast-moving and shoaling fish, they add energy and movement to the upper layers of the water and are excellent for natural pest control, feeding on insects and mosquito larvae at the surface.
Sturgeon

For the serious pond keeper with a large, well-filtered pond, sturgeon are a truly spectacular addition. Ancient, prehistoric-looking fish, they require excellent water quality and space to thrive — but for the right setup, they're an unforgettable choice.

Beyond Fish — Amphibians, Reptiles and Aquatic Wildlife

A garden pond can support far more than just fish. We're happy to advise on a broader range of aquatic livestock, including:

Terrapins and turtles

Fascinating reptiles that can make impressive additions to suitable outdoor or indoor pond setups, though they do require specific care and environmental conditions.

Newts, frogs and toads

While these often find their own way into garden ponds naturally, we can offer advice on encouraging and supporting native amphibian populations, which are a fantastic sign of a healthy, balanced pond ecosystem.

Why Buy Pond Livestock From Aquascape?

Buying healthy pond livestock from a reputable source is essential. Introducing sick or stressed fish to your pond can quickly lead to disease outbreaks that affect your entire stock. At Aquascape, we take the health and welfare of our livestock seriously — fish are properly quarantined, conditioned and cared for before they reach you.

We also offer expert advice on stocking levels, compatibility, and the right environment for any fish or aquatic life you're considering. Getting the stocking density right is crucial — overstocking is one of the most common causes of poor water quality and fish health problems in garden ponds.

Livestock Delivery to Your Door

We understand that transporting live fish can be stressful — for the fish and the owner. That's why we offer a reliable, carefully managed livestock delivery service, bringing your new pond fish and aquatic life directly to you, wherever you are.
