Comet 9cm

The Golden Comet is a bright, vibrant golden pond fish that is a popular choice for outdoor ponds. With their striking golden-orange colour, they really stand out against the greenery and water of your pond.

These 9cm Golden Comets are a great size for adding colour and activity to an established pond. They are hardy, active and relatively easy to care for, making them suitable for both new and experienced pond keepers.

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 acclimatise gradually to their new environment.

Do not immediately release newly arrived fish into the pond. Gradually acclimatise them to the pond water so they can adjust to the difference in temperature and water conditions. Do this by floating the bag on top of your pond for 5-10 minutes.

Important Information About Live Fish

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

Golden Comets may vary slightly in size, shape and intensity of 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.
