NZ Native Aquariums
New Zealand’s native bush is alive with the sounds of birds, but our streams and rivers are just as vibrant, teeming with fascinating aquatic life. From darting native fish like bullies and kōkopu to freshwater crayfish (koura) and longfin eels, these waterways support a rich array of species.
Did you know that these can be kept successfully in home aquariums?
Keeping a native aquarium is not only rewarding but also a wonderful way to connect with New Zealand’s natural heritage.
If you’re looking for something truly special and uniquely Kiwi, consider bringing a slice of our wild streams into your home or workspace – a living window into Aotearoa’s hidden aquatic world.

Pond Plants - the Truth About Oxygen Weeds
There’s a common misconception that “oxygen weeds” keep your pond oxygenated, but the reality is a bit different.
Many of the oxygen weed species in NZ ponds are listed as invasive pests and tend to take over in a pond. Therefore, relying solely on oxygen weeds to introduce oxygen in pond water, risks creating imbalances.
In our experience, systems that provide consistent aeration and improve water movement are a better solution to support a thriving pond without the risks that come with excessive plant growth.
We can help you find the right balance of plants and other aeration techniques for your pond’s unique needs. If you want peace of mind and a truly healthy pond, let us show you the best ways to keep your water fresh and full of life.
