They are found in Europe from the Urals to the Pyrenees. Rudd can also tolerate a relatively high concentration of salt in the water and are therefore often found in brackish water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRudd are deep-bodied and laterally flattened. The back and top of the head are brown to grey-green, the sides are lighter and golden to brass-coloured. As the name suggests, the most typical feature of the rudd is its almost blood-red coloured ventral, anal, and dorsal fins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn average, rudd grow to between 20 - 30cm and weigh 250 - 300g. There are exceptional specimens of 50cm and up to 2 kg. Under optimal conditions, rudd can live for up to 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRudd are often confused with roach, and various hybrid forms also exist, as the animals can interbreed due to their similar genetics. They can be distinguished by the shape of their mouth: the rudd has an upturned mouth, while the roach has a terminal mouth. The eye colour can also be used to distinguish the animals. The iris of the rudd is yellow to orange, while that of the roach is red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare and Feeding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRudd prefer to feed on algae and aquatic plants, and occasionally on small organisms in the bank area. In domestic garden ponds, we feed the animals with special mini-pellets, which they readily accept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are schooling fish that prefer to live in still or slow-flowing waters with muddy bottoms. Here they prefer to swim in the overgrown, shallower areas and reed fringes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRudd are robust and adaptable fish that are rarely ill and do not have high demands on oxygen saturation or elevated water temperatures. Therefore, they are excellently suited for stocking in biotopes or smaller garden ponds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRudd become sexually mature from the age of 2 - 3 years. Their spawning season is between April and July at water temperatures of 18 degrees and above. During this phase, the animals seek out the shallow and overgrown bank areas and lay their eggs on the aquatic plants there. Since rudd often spawn with other carp-like fish, cross-breeding of species can occur, leading to the formation of so-called hybrid forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are peaceful and social, so they can easily be kept with other carp-like fish. However, rudd are rather timid and react sensitively to changes in the pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood water values are a prerequisite for keeping rudd, so a filter system is essential for the well-being of the animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Temperatures and Wintering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRudd are native cold-water fish and can cope with a wide variety of conditions.

Carp farming and the resulting forms are now the dominant carp forms due to stocking measures. Different subspecies are distinguished based on the carp's scaling: common carp (fully scaled); linear carp (few but large scales along the lateral line); mirror carp (few but large scales on the back); leather carp (scaleless).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content--title\"\u003eProduct information \"Mirror Carp\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product--description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare and Feeding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCarp are robust and adaptable fish that rarely get sick.

In garden ponds, we feed carp sinking pellets, as they primarily take their food from the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarp reach sexual maturity at 3 - 5 years. Spawning time for carp occurs, depending on the region, from April - June, at a water temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. During this time, the male develops what is known as the breeding rash, which appears as white spots on the gill cover or pectoral fins. For spawning, carp migrate to the shallow regions of their waters. There, the male fish begin to chase the females. The male nudges the female's flanks with its mouth, thereby stimulating egg laying. Afterwards, the spawn is fertilized by the male. A female carp can lay up to 1,500,000 eggs, depending on its weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood water quality is a prerequisite for keeping carp, therefore a filter system and oxygenation are essential for the well-being of the animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Temperatures and Wintering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCarp are native cold-water fish and can cope with a wide variety of conditions.

Very well suited for regulating the juvenile fish population. Catfish become increasingly aggressive towards each other with age, hence individual keeping. With good water quality\/filtration, keeping larger groups is also possible, as aggressions then distribute, and the catfish form a pecking order. Nevertheless, fights occur among catfish, during which they bite each other's mouths and fins, which are often injured. Keeping small groups of a few animals is bad, as the weakest animal is often killed and often eaten as soon as it fits into the mouth of a larger catfish. Catfish grow very quickly; in warm water, they can grow over 40cm long within the first year. Catfish are nocturnal and like to hide during the day. Therefore, one to two hiding places should be provided for each catfish.\u003cbr\u003e\nReproduction: In spring, the male builds a nest, usually a pit under a shelter. Several thousand eggs are laid there and guarded, often until the juvenile catfish are 6-10cm long.

They react sensitively to high ammonia levels. They are also susceptible to bacterial infections. Catfish particularly often get white spot disease (Ichthyophthirius), where common medications often do not help and are not allowed to be used for edible fish. White spot disease is present in many waters; these parasites form cysts that survive for years in the mud and on the water surface, but many fish are immune to it, whereas catfish are very susceptible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mein Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56278185902424,"sku":"ALBINOWALLER22","price":295.9,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/1197\/1160\/files\/Albinowaller.jpg?v=1764084229"},{"product_id":"goldrotfedern-ca-12-15cm","title":"Gold-Redfin c. 12-15cm","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlease note that we do not ship fish by mail. \u003cstrong\u003eAll fish must be collected from us in Oberweningen.\u003c\/strong\u003e We will professionally pack your fish and ensure sufficient oxygenation.

For spawning, the carp move to the shallow regions of their waters. There, the male fish begin to chase the females. The male nudges the female's flanks with its mouth, thus stimulating egg laying.

They can be found in all types of water bodies. They are thus native to ponds, gravel pits, rivers, large natural lakes, and even brackish water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original wild form is hardly widespread today. Carp breeding and the resulting forms are now the dominant carp forms due to stocking measures. Different subspecies are distinguished based on the carp's scaling: Common Carp (fully scaled); Line Carp (few but large scales along the lateral line); Mirror Carp (few but large scales on the back); Leather Carp (scaleless).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct information \"Mirror Carp\"\u003cbr\u003e\nKeeping and Feeding\u003cbr\u003e\nCarp are robust and adaptable fish that rarely get sick.

Spawning season for carp occurs between April and June, depending on the region, when water temperatures reach 20 degrees Celsius. During this time, the male develops the so-called spawning rash, which appears as white spots on the gill cover or pectoral fins. For spawning, carp move to the shallow areas of their waters. There, the males begin to chase the females. The male nudges the female's flanks with its mouth, stimulating egg-laying. Afterwards, the spawn is fertilized by the male.

Our staff will also be happy to inform you about transport and the correct placement of the crayfish in your pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin and Appearance\u003cbr\u003e\nWith a length of up to 20 cm, the noble crayfish is the largest native species of freshwater crayfish. Females remain somewhat smaller. The crayfish usually have a dark brown coloration, but blue and orange color variants also occur. However, these colors often disappear with the next molt.\u003cbr\u003e\nNoble crayfish are very similar to the invasive American signal crayfish. Like them, noble crayfish also have two-part eye ridges and almost always a red underside of the claws. However, the noble crayfish can be reliably distinguished by its reddish joint membrane between the claw segments and by some clearly palpable lateral spines near the nuchal groove. In the past, noble crayfish were found in almost all larger bodies of water in Central Europe. But crayfish plague, a deadly animal disease, and strong competition from invasive American freshwater crayfish species have led to the disappearance of these animals in many waters. However, water pollution by pesticides from agriculture also contributes to this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeeping and Feeding\u003cbr\u003e\nKeeping noble crayfish in your own garden is not difficult, as long as the following is observed: The depth of the pond should be at least 1m. Since crayfish have high demands on the water, the pond should not be exposed to contamination by herbicides or pesticides. Crayfish do not like it too cold; the water temperature should be between 16 and 24°C in summer.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe nature of the pond is also important. Due to its special behaviors, the crayfish needs diggable edges, stable bottom and edge conditions, and a generous bank area. Keeping them in foil ponds and tubs is possible, but not ideal, as the digging possibilities are rather limited here. Because the crayfish spends a lot of time digging: it even builds self-dug tubes, which it defends as its own dwelling. But there is another thing that is very important to the crayfish and contributes significantly to its living comfort: hiding places! Whether large stones, roots, ridge tiles or similar, the crayfish needs places to hide. Here it spends the day, hides when threatened, or eats its prey in peace.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen it comes to eating, the crayfish is not nearly as picky as it is with its pond requirements, because it is an omnivore. Dead fish, worms, snails and insects are on its menu, as are fallen leaves, plant remains and algae. In general, you don't have to worry about your own pond plants. The crayfish feeds not on living, but rather on dead plant parts; these are softer and therefore easier to consume. Since they already find everything necessary in the pond, it is generally not necessary to feed them extra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fact that the crayfish is not such a picky eater benefits your pond. Since they clean the water of organic residues, such as dead plants and dead animals, they ensure good water quality.

Their back and top of the head are brown to grey-green, the sides are lighter and golden to brass-coloured.

Under optimal conditions, rudd can live up to 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRudd are often confused with roach, and various hybrid forms also exist, as the animals can interbreed due to their similar genetics. They can be distinguished by the shape of their mouth: the rudd has an upturned mouth, while the roach has a terminal mouth. The eye colour can also be used to distinguish the animals. The iris of the rudd is yellow to orange, while that of the roach is red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare and Feeding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRudd prefer to feed on algae and aquatic plants, rarely on small organisms in the bank area.

Therefore, they are excellently suited for stocking biotopes or smaller garden ponds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the age of 2 - 3 years, the rudd reaches sexual maturity. Their spawning season is between April and July at water temperatures of 18 degrees Celsius or higher. During this phase, the animals seek out the shallow and weedy bank areas and lay their eggs on the aquatic plants there. Since rudd often spawn with other carp-like fish, crossbreeding of species can occur, leading to the formation of so-called hybrid forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are peaceful and sociable, so they can be easily kept with other carp-like fish.

In domestic garden ponds, we feed tench with sinking pellets, as the fish prefer to take their food from the bottom. The light-shy tench are rather cautious when searching for and taking food and prefer the night or the early morning hours. The tench has no teeth in its jaw, but, like the carp, it has so-called pharyngeal teeth located deep in the back, with which it can crush the ingested food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTench are very robust and adaptable fish that can temporarily fall into a cold or heat stupor. Therefore, they can temporarily cope with very little oxygen. In smaller bodies of water such as village ponds or overgrown forest ponds, they are sometimes even the only fish species present thanks to this ability. Thanks to their peaceful nature, tench can be easily socialized with other carp-like pond fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spawning season for tench takes place between April and June, depending on the water temperature. They require 18 - 20 degrees for successful reproduction. During this time, the females lay up to 300,000 eggs on aquatic plants, where they are then fertilized by the males. The female does not lay all the eggs at once; the spawning season can extend over 2 months. The sex of tench can be determined by their pectoral fins. Males have large, spoon-shaped fins, while females have longer and more pointed, rather triangular-looking fins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood water values are a prerequisite for keeping tench; a filter system and oxygenation are therefore essential for the well-being of the animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Temperatures and Wintering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTench are native cold-water fish and can cope with a wide variety of conditions.

Very well suited for regulating the juvenile fish population. Catfish become increasingly aggressive towards each other with age. Therefore, individual keeping is recommended. With good water quality\/filtration, keeping larger groups is also possible, as aggression then disperses and the catfish form a hierarchy. Nevertheless, fights occur among catfish, where they bite each other's mouths and fins, which are often injured. Keeping small groups of a few animals is bad, as the weakest animal is often killed and often eaten as soon as it fits into the mouth of a larger catfish. Catfish grow very quickly; in warm water, they can reach over 40cm in length within the first year. Catfish are nocturnal and like to hide during the day. Therefore, one or two hiding places should be provided for each catfish.\u003cbr\u003e\nReproduction: In spring, the male builds a nest, usually a pit under a shelter. Several thousand eggs are laid there and guarded, often until the juvenile catfish are 6-10cm long.

The wild form originally came from Asia and was brought to Europe by the Romans. Today, they are widespread throughout Europe, with the exception of Scandinavia. Due to their easy keeping and relatively fast growth, they were already a popular food fish back then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarp prefer warm, still, or slow-flowing waters with dense vegetation and soft bottoms. They can be found in all types of water, including ponds, gravel pits, rivers, large natural lakes, and even brackish water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original wild form is now hardly widespread. Carp breeding and the forms that have emerged from it are now the dominant carp forms due to stocking measures. Depending on the scaling of the carp, different subspecies are distinguished among the cultivated forms: common carp (fully scaled); linear carp (few but large scales along the lateral line); mirror carp (few but large scales on the back); leather carp (scaleless).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content--title\"\u003eProduct Information \"Mirror Carp\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product--description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare and Feeding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCarp are robust and adaptable fish that rarely get sick. Their peaceful and sociable nature allows for problem-free cohabitation with other carp-like pond fish. Carp are schooling fish and should not be kept alone. For smaller animals, we recommend a group of 5 or more; larger fish can also be kept in groups of 3 or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarp are typical omnivores. However, they mainly feed on microorganisms, but also on insect larvae or worms, and rarely on plant-based food. In garden ponds, we feed carp with sinking pellets, as they primarily take their food from the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarp reach sexual maturity at 3 - 5 years of age. The spawning season for carp takes place depending on the region from April - June, at a water temperature of 20 degrees or higher. During this time, the male develops what is known as the spawning rash, which appears as white spots on the gill cover or on the pectoral fins. For spawning, carp move into the shallow regions of their waters. There, the males begin to chase the females. The male nudges the female's flanks with its mouth, thus stimulating egg laying. Afterwards, the spawn is fertilized by the male. A female carp can lay up to 1,500,000 eggs, depending on its weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood water values are a prerequisite for keeping carp, and a filter system and oxygenation are therefore essential for the well-being of the animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Temperatures and Wintering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCarp are native cold-water fish and can cope with a wide variety of conditions.

It is the most common species of perch and has the widest distribution of its genus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical features of the perch are its divided dorsal fin, as well as the reddish coloration of the pelvic and pectoral fins. Both the dorsal fins and the anal fin have spiny spines. The opercula taper to a point at the back and have a thorn. The perch is colored grey-yellow-brown-greenish and has 6 - 8 vertical, black stripes. It has a large, slightly superior mouth set with small, sharp teeth, which indicates that it is predatory and feeds on small fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn average, perches grow to 20 - 40 cm and weigh 50 - 350 g, depending on the food supply in the respective region. However, there are exceptional specimens that can reach 60 cm and weigh up to 5 kg. Perch grow rather slowly; on average, they are only 25 cm long at 8 years old. Under good conditions, they can live for up to 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe larvae of the European perch initially feed on plankton, later becoming predators and feeding on small fish (primarily cyprinids); some are also cannibalistic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe European perch is very adaptable, which is why it can be found almost everywhere in Europe. Whether in large lakes, rivers, streams, or sometimes even in brackish water. However, it avoids heavily silted areas or very shallow waters. Young perch stay in schools and rather in the shore zones of the waters, older specimens prefer deeper water areas and usually live as solitary individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeeping and Feeding\u003cbr\u003e\nIf you want to keep perch in your garden pond, there are a few things to consider. It is very important to stock fish from breeding. If you put animals from the lake or river into your pond, there is a high risk of introducing diseases. In addition, wild animals are less stable; the chance of them surviving in captivity is rather low. Animals from breeding are more robust, and they are also accustomed to feeding with pellets. Wild animals do not accept pellets and would therefore starve in the garden pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen feeding Egli, it is important to choose a sinking food with a high fat content, preferably sturgeon food. It is important here not to put too much food into the pond at once, as Egli only consume food during the sinking phase (predatory reflex). So take your time when feeding and only put a few pellets into the pond at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerch are usually sexually mature at 2 years old. Spawning season is between March and June. The female lays the eggs in the form of spawn strands on aquatic plants or branches, where they are fertilized by the males. The hatched larvae then first go to the water surface to fill their swim bladder. Young perch live in schools with several animals, older fish are usually solitary and territorial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood water values are a prerequisite for keeping perch, so a filter system and oxygenation are essential for the well-being of the animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater temperatures and wintering\u003cbr\u003e\nPerch are native cold-water fish and can cope with a wide variety of conditions.
