Common
Pond Fish Varieties
Goldfish
Easiest of the pond fish to keep, being
a member of the carp family they can vary in colour from a
red to very light gold. They will breed easily producing black
young that may turn gold later in the right conditions. Goldfish
can grow to 30cm but in normal British conditions they will
probably reach 20cm (8 in). |

Golden
Orfe
Should not be kept in smaller ponds
or where there is no pump, as they require plenty of oxygen.
Orfe can grow up to 40 cm ( 18 in) and prefer to be kept in
shoals. They are useful surface feeders, keeping the insect
population in check. Blue Orfe are sometimes available. |

Sarasa
Comets
From the same family as goldfish, but
have bright red patches on a white background. |
 |
Shubunkins
Similar to goldfish they come in a multitude
of colours including reds, greys and blues. |
 |
Tench
Very useful bottom feeders, clearing
up any uneaten food etc. Once introduced into a pond it’ s
likely you will not see them often as they stay at the bottom
and their olive or green/brown colour tends to blend them
into the background. A golden variety is often available. |
