Fish rescue

Three reasons people call us.

Fish in poor health

Do you have fish that are in poor health and simply don’t know what to do about it? We professionally bring them in and medicate them at our facility.

Fish that outgrew the pond

Many of the fish we’ve rescued are oversized and can no longer live comfortably in their original pond. They need a new home.

Fish you can’t keep

If you have pond fish that you simply don’t want, or don’t have the time or space for, give us a call.

Fish adoption

Have a pond and want fish?

Our adoption program works out what you want and which fish we recommend for your pond’s size.

  • Tell us about your pond and the fish you’d like
  • We recommend fish that suit your pond
  • Once your selection is approved, we schedule a delivery date
  • We deliver the fish and personally release them into your pond with loving care

Due to filtration and circulation issues, some ponds can’t adopt some fish, and we’re truly sorry when that happens. We just want these fish to live the healthiest life they possibly can. Not sure how big your pond is? Work out the gallons.
