Healthy, Hardy Pond and Koi Fish

At Birchwood Aquatic Centre, we specialise in healthy, hardy pond and koi fish suitable for UK gardens and outdoor pond systems. We stock a wide range of cold-water pond fish, all hand-selected from trusted UK breeders and suppliers known for quality, biosecurity and responsible fish husbandry.

All of our pond and koi fish are housed in well-aerated outdoor systems, allowing them to naturally acclimatise to seasonal temperatures before sale. This greatly reduces stress and helps ensure a smooth transition from our systems to your garden pond. Fish are carefully monitored, fed appropriately, and maintained in clean, stable water conditions to promote strong immune systems and long-term health.

We carry a varied selection of popular pond species including koi carp, goldfish, shubunkins, orfe and sterlet, suitable for ponds of different sizes and experience levels. Whether you’re stocking a wildlife pond, a decorative garden feature, or a dedicated koi pond, our team can help you choose fish that are compatible with your setup and filtration capacity.

All pond and koi fish are regularly health-checked and quarantined before being released for sale, giving you confidence that you’re introducing robust, disease-free fish to your pond. We’re always happy to advise on pond stocking levels, seasonal care, feeding routines, water quality and ongoing maintenance to help your pond thrive year-round.
