| Alternative Pond Fish |
It's that time of the year again - short sleeve shirts, increase in cider sales and requests come in for pond fish.
Everyone is familiar with Goldfish and Koi varieties, all of which are now in stock and the colours are amazing.
But here are a few pond fish that you may not have considered:
Orfe
These are very hardy pond fish and can acclimatize to almost any pond water conditions. Orfe are commonly added to a pond to add movement and colour. We have two colours available, Golden and Blue. Best sold as a shoal and grow fast.
Tench
These fish stand out from other pond fish with their smooth, non-scaled body and catfish like whiskers. They use these whiskers to source food along the bottom of the pond. Tench are mainly purchased to stir up the pond bottom, preventing sludge build up and cleaning the pond. We have Green Tench for sale now, a beautiful olive green colour.
Sturgeon and Sterlets
These beautiful ancient scale-less fish have become very popular in larger sized ponds. They feed mainly off the bottom, but like koi can be trained to hand feed at the surface. The main difference between these two fish, is that Sterlets are much slower growing and therefore suitable for more pond sizes. Our most popular seller is the Diamond Sturgeon due to its lovely markings.
Redfin Rudd
These remind me of the Tinfoil Barb of the pond, shimmering silver body with lovely red fins. They are similar in requirements to Orfe, but only grow to half their size making them ideal for smaller ponds. Best sold as a shoal.

| Doctor Fish - Garra Rufa |
A new craze and type of beauty treatment is sweeping through health spa's across the country.
The treatment involves sitting with your feet in a tank, vat or pool while Doctor Fish/ Garra Ruffa nibble away the dead bit of skin leaving the feet soft and smooth.
About the Garra Rufa
These fish are an exotic freshwater tropical fish usually found in warm springs and river basins in the Middle East. They have been used for centuries on people to cleanse, soften and help heal skin problems.
While removing the dead skin, the fish also secretes Diathanol which is an enzyme well known to improve the regeneration of skin cells. The Garra Rufa gently remove the dead skin cells by nibbling (they have no teeth, so maybe gumming is a better word!!) while causing no damage to healthy skin and allowing new skin cells to develop and heal quicker.
Quick Stats
pH 6.5 - 7.5
Temp 24 - 28C
Colour
Silver/Grey
Size
They can vary in size from 1" to 4". However most popular imported sizes are 1" to 2". These sizes allows more fish to be contained in a Spa Tank, meaning more mouths to work on those problem feet!¦.
Feeding
The fish should be fed once a day as much as they will consume within a 2 minute period. Garra Rufa will feed on a wide range of flake, pellets and frozen food. We recommend Nutrafin Max Pleco Logs 95g - HGA6972.
