Have Questions About Cold Water Fish for Sale?

We have answers. Get quick help for common questions.

1. What are coldwater fish?
Coldwater fish are species that live happily at room temperature without a heater, such as goldfish, white cloud mountain minnows and some loaches.
3. What size tank do goldfish need?
Goldfish grow larger and produce more waste than many people expect. Fancy goldfish need at least 75 litres for the first fish, plus space for each extra fish, and good filtration.
5. How are live fish delivered?
Fish are packed in oxygenated bags inside insulated boxes and sent by a dedicated livestock delivery service. Acclimate them slowly on arrival.
2. Do coldwater fish need a heater?
Most don't, as they're happy at normal room temperature. Keep the tank away from radiators and direct sunlight to avoid big temperature swings.
4. Can coldwater fish live with tropical fish?
It's best not to mix them, as they need different temperatures. A few species, such as white cloud mountain minnows, can tolerate both.
6. Can fancy goldfish go in a pond?
They are best kept indoors. Their rounded bodies and long fins make them slow swimmers, and they struggle in cold winters and with pond predators.

Coldwater Fish for Sale

Coldwater aquariums do not need a heater, and they can be just as colourful and interesting as a tropical tank. Our coldwater fish range includes fancy goldfish, common goldfish and other species that are happy at room temperature in most UK homes.

Goldfish are the classic coldwater fish, but they grow much larger than many people expect and produce a lot of waste. Fancy goldfish need a spacious tank with strong filtration, and single-tail goldfish such as comets are best kept in large aquariums or ponds. If you want smaller coldwater fish, look at our temperate fish, such as White Cloud Mountain minnows, which suit cooler tanks.

Always plan around the adult size of your fish. Choose a properly sized goldfish tank, run a filter rated well above the tank volume and fill it with quality freshwater filter media. Treat new water with dechlorinator, check ammonia and nitrite with freshwater test kits and feed a specialist goldfish food in small amounts. Regular water changes and gravel cleaning keep water quality high.

Charterhouse Aquatics keeps a changing selection of coldwater fish, and our team can help you choose fish that suit your tank size.

Good to know

Why are some points pending?

Purchase points have an approval period before they become available. Your balance shows available points separately from pending points.

How long do my points last?

When points expiry applies, your balance stays valid for 365 days from qualifying rewards activity. Earning eligible rewards, redeeming points or a balance adjustment renews that window. Simply visiting the shop does not renew it.

Can I use points with my stamp reward?

Yes. Add your 10% stamp reward code at checkout and switch on your points. Your final saving depends on the eligible product total and any other discount restrictions.

What happens if I return something?

Earned points are adjusted for returns. Points used on refunded products are restored proportionally. If a refund takes a qualifying order below £250, its stamp is removed.
