Aquatic garden fish
Aquatic garden fish are a decorative and symbolic addition to any water garden. Koi are the most common fish found in water gardens (Nishikigoi, Butterfly koi, and Ghost koi). Goldfish might seem a good choice, but most goldfish are not suited to pond life.
Golden Orfe, Golden Tench, Rosy Red Minnows, and Mosquitofish are other common and hearty aquatic garden fish. Be aware, though, that any man-made pond with fish in it must be run with a pump and filter or the fish won’t get enough oxygen.
Aquatic garden fish come in all colors and sizes. The Orfe is silver with red fins. The tench have a carp-like shape with olive-green skin and a square caudal fin. The Rosy Red Minnows are actually fathead minnows and are a common feeder fish.
