Choosing a Quality Supplier
The fact of the matter is that no matter how reputable your supplier is or how high of a quality fish your retailer orders, there is still a possibility that fish coming from a large production farm has harmful parasites and/or diseases. Therefore, We feel that it is important to describe the process that we go through to further guarantee that as a consumer you are receiving the highest quality, disease free pond fish possible. If you do not buy fish from us we encourage you to ask your retailer of choice about their process.
Selling Quality Pond Fish
We only order the highest quality fish available. Fish suppliers will sort their fish into usually 3 different grades (Standard, Premium, and Premium Select). This ensures that our customers only receive the highest quality fish available.
•Reputable Suppliers – We only order from the most reputable breeders. There are literally hundreds of “Mom and Pop” Koi farms in our area. Don’t get us wrong here we have no problem with captilism and small businesses trying to make a living. However, the truth is that most of these small businesses lack the expertise and knowledge to properly grade their KOI and treat for parasites and diseases. We only use the following nationally reputable Fish Suppliers.
Fish, An Integral Part Of Any Pond
Fish are an integral part of any ecosystem. Unfortunately, fish are often seen as creating a maintenance nightmare. Contrary to popular belief, fish will actually reduce pond maintenance, as they graze on string algae and bottom feed from the pond floor. Koi … the jewels of the water garden! Have you thought about making them a part of your watery paradise. Everyone who has koi preaches of the joy they have while feeding them, watching them swim through caves and waterfalls, and even naming them.
You’ll find koi of all different shapes and sizes named accordingly. There’s “Goldie” – everyone’s favorite yellow fish; and “Spot” – the fish with a precarious spot on the front of its forehead; the names can go on, and on, and on!
Low-Maintenance Pets
One of the other things that is so wonderful about welcoming a fishy friend into your pond is that they are pretty low maintenance. You won’t see a koi scratching at the door to go for a walk, or choosing your prized sofa for a litter box. Nope. Fish live, breath, and eat in the exact same place … your pond. They truly are one of the most low-maintenance pets you can have.
When it comes to feeding them, you may notice that there are several different recommendations out there. If your fish are part of a balanced ecosystem, as is the case with the Aquascape system, your best bet is to feed them as much as they will eat in five minutes, being careful not to leave too much food floating at the surface. Fish can also over-winter in your pond, so you can rest assured that they won’t be in a tub in the middle of the living room as the months get colder. After all, they won’t even pay rent!
More Than Just Koi
Are there other fish, besides koi, that make great pond-living pets? There most certainly are! That same goldfish that stares at you from the glass at the fish store is a perfect fit for your pond. Goldfish are incredibly resilient and can be a great starter fish for a new pond owner. Best of all, they come in all, shapes, sizes, and colors and if you have a container water garden or preformed pond, they’re a great fit!
Another fish that is sure to find its way into your heart resembles the koi, but is much smaller. It’s called a shubunkin and it’s a kind of single-tailed, long-bodied goldfish that differs from the koi in the fact that it doesn’t have “barbells,” which are whiskers of sorts that are used to root through gravel.
