Roach and Rudd are true classics. For most anglers, one of these two was the very first fish they ever caught, and that's certainly how it started for a lot of us. They're tough, adaptable fish that settle into ponds easily and breed readily once established. They also get along well with other species, making them a brilliant addition to a mixed stock. Reliable, easy-going and always up for the job, you could call them the Land Rover of coarse fish.

Feeding & Care

  • Omnivorous and easy to feed, Roach and Rudd will happily take pellets, flake, and natural pond food
  • Thrive in well-oxygenated water with some cover from plants or structure
  • Hardy across a wide temperature range, making them well suited to outdoor ponds year-round
  • Breed readily in ponds with suitable vegetation for spawning, so populations establish quickly
  • Get on well with most other coarse species, making them a low-fuss choice for mixed stocking

Fish will be shipped at the earliest possible moment. We will send you a text message beforehand to make sure you’re available to receive them. Shipments are sent on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
