Aug 1, 2019 · The Demon Shrimp (Dikerogammarus haemobaphes) is a freshwater gammarid crustacean native to the Ponto-Caspian region. However, the species is rapidly spreading throughout Western Europe and is now present within some UK waters.
- High Fin Banded Shark (Myxocyprinus asiaticus) Also known as the batfish due to its dark and somewhat bat-like appearance, the Chinese high fin banded shark is an efficient and attractive algae eater.
- Pumpkinseed Fish (Lepomis gibbosus) Native to North America but an invasive species (and often therefore illegal) in much of Europe, the pumpkinseed fish is in the sunfish family.
- Weather Loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) The weather loach is native to Southeast Asia, but has since been introduced around the world. As their name may imply, weather loaches are rather hardy and do just fine in temperatures that range from 40 to 77° F (4.5-25° C), making them suitable for a large variety of climates and locations (though they do prefer the cooler versus the warmer end of the spectrum).
- Silver Bream (Blicca bjoerkna) Entirely different from the common bream (which is considered a nuisance species in many areas), the silver bream is an incredibly well-adapted species, more than capable of living in waters that are anywhere from 39 to 72° F (4-22° C).
- Common Goldfish (Carassius auratus) Originally domesticated from the Asian carp in China over 1,000 years ago, goldfish vary somewhat in coloration and a fair amount in size depending on the species – some may only grow to a couple inches long by adulthood, while other species can grow up to a foot.
- Fancy Goldfish (Carassius auratus) While regular “feeder” goldfish (the variety covered above) tend to be energetic, fast, and enjoy swimming about, fancy goldfish are typically slow, and can’t really compete with other fish for food.
- Koi Carp (Cyprinus carpio) One of the most popular pond fish species, and understandably so, koi are typically a maximum of a foot to three feet in size depending on the exact variety and have a stunning amount diversity in their coloration and patterning.
- Golden Orfe (Leuciscus idus) Orfes, also known as ides or golden orfes, typically grow around a foot to a foot and a half in length in ponds (they need to be at least 1,000 gallons and a meter or more in depth), though in larger ponds and lakes with plenty of food availability they can grow close to three feet.
