Receiving Your Fish

When your fish arrive, open the package and check them promptly.

It is normal for fish to be stressed or less active after their journey. Allow them time to settle and acclimatise gradually to their new environment.

Do not immediately release newly arrived fish into your pond. Gradually acclimatise them to the pond water so they can adjust to differences in temperature and water conditions.

To begin, float the sealed transport bag on the surface of your pond for 5–10 minutes to allow the temperature of the water in the bag to gradually adjust.

Important Information About Live Fish

Live fish are living animals and their appearance can naturally vary.

Shubunkin Goldfish may vary slightly in size, pattern and colour depending on age, growth and individual fish. The fish pictured are representative of the type of fish supplied and may not be the exact fish you receive.

For the health and wellbeing of the fish, please ensure your pond is established, appropriately sized and has suitable water quality before ordering.
