Stress-Free Koi Transport: How to Move Your Fish Safely and Humanely

Oct 4, 2023 | koi

Moving Koi fish — whether across the garden or across the country — can be stressful for both fish and owner. At Plenty of Koi, we specialise in safe, professional Koi transfers to make the process simple and worry-free.

1. Preparing Your Koi for Transport

Before moving, stop feeding your fish 48 hours in advance. This reduces waste during transport and helps maintain water quality. Test pond parameters and ensure your Koi are in good health.

2. The Right Equipment Matters

We use oxygenated transport bags, temperature-controlled systems, and aerated holding tanks to minimise stress during transit. Never use standard buckets or containers — they can quickly deplete oxygen levels.

3. Acclimating to Their New Pond

Once your Koi arrive, they should be floated in their transport bags for 20–30 minutes to equalise temperature. Slowly mix pond water into the bag before release.

4. Why Choose a Professional Koi Transfer?

DIY transport often leads to stress, injury, or even loss. Our trained handlers ensure fish safety from start to finish — using proven methods trusted by breeders and collectors across the UK.
