Goldfish to Koi: Five Best Fish for a Garden Pond
Aquarium fish don't do well outdoors. I have put together a list of the five best outdoor fish for a garden pond in this article.
Comet Goldfish
Comet goldfish are the typical goldfish that you find in a pet store except they are 2" to 5" long as babies and grow to about 12" to 15" long. Comets are long and slender and have a single tale and a dorsal fin unlike other common goldfish. They are one of the hardiest breed of carp. They are relatively inexpensive fish costing roughly $5 to $7 each. If you're going to start a fishpond, this is the one for beginners.
Fantail goldfish
Another hardy breed of goldfish. Fantails have a fat, stout body with big bulging eyes. They typically start out at 2" to 5" as babies and only grow to about 8" in length; however, they do grow in weight and thickness. Fantail goldfish are considered the beginning of the fancy goldfish. They are in the wide group of goldfish with double tails and a dorsal fin.
Mosquito fish
Mosquito fish are a small, cigar shaped minnow. Silver in color, these fish are very small compared to goldfish and are dwarfed compared to koi. They are however essential to smaller ponds and very beneficial to large ponds. These small fish help feed on surface materials that would normally sink to the bottom of the pond. This helps keep you from cleaning the garden pond more than you need to. Mosquito fish are 1" to 2" in length their entire lifecycle.
Chinese Black Moors
These fish are in the carp family and are similar to goldfish except they are completely dark black. Chinese moors are a fat, bulgy fish with big bulging eyes that are very similar in shape as a fantail goldfish. With the Chinese moor, the eyes are nearly telescopic, where as the fantail goldfish eyes aren't nearly as pronounced. Chinese moors start out around 3" to 5" inches at birth and can grow to lengths of about 8" to 10" long. Chinese moors become more expensive and are a little more fickle than other goldfish. It takes a little practice keeping a pond before you introduce these fish into your garden pond.
Koi
Koi are my number one pick for pond fish. It takes a lot of work to keep koi properly maintained and feed. No garden pond amateur should purchase a koi until they have become fully acquainted with there garden pond and its cycles. Koi can be expensive to outright ridiculous. Typically, they range in price from $20 to over $100 for a single fish. Koi are a very large fish and can grow up to 20" or more in length, although the average koi are around 12" to 15" in length. Koi come in a huge variety of colors. They are a long living fish and with proper care, they have been known to live nearly 100 years.
