Fish Specifics

Goldfish and Koi grow in relation to their nutrition, water conditions and body of water. Goldfish can grow to be 10-12" in length.  Koi can get to sizes in excess of 24"

Both Goldfish and Koi thrive in temperate water conditions.  Dormancy occurs during the winter, once water temperatures drop below 55F.  This is also the point at which they should stop being fed.

As long as the pond does not freeze to the bottom and an air hole is provided on the pond's surface, your fish will survive the winter.

Clean, healthy water is critical to fish health.  Keep your pond filtered both mechanically and biologically.

Introducing Fish to Their New Home

Upon arriving home, make sure your pond water is dechlorinated.  Float the plastic bag containing your fish on the pond surface (keep the bag closed). To avoid shock to your fish, float the fish bag on the pond's surface for approximately 15 minutes before releasing them (minimize the amount of water from the bag into the pond).  This will allow the fish to become acclimated to any temperature and water quality differences in their new home!

Newly introduced fish may immediately hide due to the stress of travel and new surroundings.  Minimize initial feeding and treat your pond as you would normally.

Fish Feeding Tips

Fish do not have to eat everyday.

Give your fish what they will eat in 2-3 minutes per feeding.

Higher temperatures increase the metabolic rate of fish.  Although fish may be fed once a day, they enjoy several feeding times.  Be careful, excess food becomes nutrients in the pond that may be readily used by algae.

Stop feeding when water temperature is below 55F.  Remember to check your pond thermometer!

If you feed from a consistent location, your fish can be conditioned to be rather friendly.
