What can you expect from a visit to Pond Life?
We have fully stocked freshwater fish aquariums, which you are free to browse. Our fish are separated into biomes and kept in large, well filtered environments. We are able to provide consultations in-store on setting up a new aquarium, as well as advice on common issues with upkeep and maintenance.
Pond Fish
We are well stocked with pond fish, ranging from large koi carp and sturgeon to small goldfish. Our fish are British-bred and very hardy.
We sell pond fish throughout winter, as long as the conditions remain above 5 degrees.
Pond Plants
We have pond plants in stock all year round, with a range of evergreen options available for sale in the winter.
Ethical Fishkeeping
We believe very strongly in ethical fishkeeping. This involves:
- Only buying fish which are captive-bred or from sustainable populations, which stops natural habitats from being depleted.
- Making sure our fish are being sent to good homes. We will check that our customers have the knowledge they need to keep their fish thriving. We are always happy to educate.
- We do not endorse the marine trade, which frequently depletes natural habitats and leads to fish being kept in unsuitable conditions.
- We keep our fish in spacious, well filtered aquariums. We test our water frequently to help keep on top of water quality. Our fish have access to live plants and cover to prevent disease.
