Answer

What fish can I keep in a garden pond?

Goldfish and orfe for ornamental ponds; koi need a dedicated filtered pond; wildlife ponds are best fish-free.

In short

Goldfish and orfe suit a general ornamental pond, while koi need a larger, dedicated, filtered pond to thrive. A wildlife pond is usually best left fish-free so it stays balanced for amphibians and insects, and a natural swimming pond is not designed for fish. We design the pond around what you want.
