Pond Servicing - a WOF for Your Pond

We all know that regular service of our cars increases their longevity and will help us to enjoy and use them for longer. So too does regular servicing your pond and pond equipment prolong the life of your pond system and everything in it: a healthy pond with well functioning pumps and filters create an environment where fish and plants can thrive and buzzes with life.

While each pond is different, it is our experience that most ponds do well with a service every 6 months, thereby keeping the whole ecosystem in check.

Aquariums Bring People Together

From the doctor’s office or waiting room to school libraries and retirement villages, aquariums form a focal point that brings people, young and old, together.

Here is some of the feedback we have received from one of our rest home clients:

Fish tank in rest home is a hit

From the doctor’s office or waiting room to school libraries and retirement villages, aquariums form a focal point that brings people, young and old, together.

“Hi Red Fish Blue Fish Team,

We have had so many compliments coming in about the fish tank that I thought I should pass on.

The fish tank with the exciting variety of the many different patterned and sized fish has been a hit with residents and visitors alike.

  • The residents relax for a long time and look at the fish.
  • Some are reminiscing about when they used to keep fish.
  • Many are pointing out their favourites or are trying to count them or look for the differences between them.
  • They are enjoying how the fish are moving around the tank.

There are so many compliments from people that I can’t remember them all. These are just a few I heard.

Ngā mihi (Thank you).

Kind regards”

Arne’s Trip to Europe

Water fountains of Europe

While we have been able to call New Zealand home for the last 20 years, we keep close ties with our country of origin: Belgium. So while winter was well and truly settling in here in New Zealand, I was able to enjoy the July summer in Belgium. While it was mainly a family trip, I couldn’t help myself taking pictures of pretty much every water feature and pond I encountered. It was quite striking to me that most cities have water features, some hundreds of years old and most city centres have a fountain of some sort in the town square. Thinking about how most European cities evolved, it is quite natural that those locations were one of the few access points to fresh water throughout the ages…

I came away with plenty of inspiration and new ideas.
