Fish Care
Maintaining fish in a healthy condition is the goal of every pond keeper. Raising fish can be an immensely pleasurable experience; Koi are ornate members of the carp family and are easily identified by their whiskers. Their striking patterns and vivid colorations of rich black, white, yellow, orange, blue or red and along with their impressive potential size make them popular pets. They can live up to 25 years or more with proper care.
Goldfish are hardy fish and do relatively well even in poorer water conditions. There are many varieties available; Comets, a popular goldfish for ponds and water gardens where they add such beauty with their long slender bodies, typically solid orange with a metallic appearance.
Shubunkin have longer, thinner bodies and are typically shaped like traditional goldfish. Shubunkin can have a long tail fin and wide rounded fin lobes and are primarily bred and enjoyed for their beautiful colors.
Fantails are shorter and rounder and are distinguished by a divided caudal fin which is usually longer than the common goldfish tail.
