Welcome to Pond Life

Pond Life and Orchard Fisheries are part of the Sturgeon Web group of web sites. We offer practical friendly help and advice on all aspects of pond and fishkeeping.

On this site you will find lots of useful information about how to keep sturgeons in the garden pond, their essential requirements and how to feed and look after them.

In the fish health section we have descriptions and photos of fish parasites to help you identify them and information on prevention and treatments. There is a page about Koi Herpes Virus (KHV) and how to minimise the risk of this deadly disease wiping out your koi collection.

We also have sections on filtration, maintenance, pond plants, koi and other pond fish. We are constantly working on new pages and update the site regularly.
