Safe & Seamless: Expert Prize Koi Transport from London to Birmingham

At ABBCO Pond & Lake Services, we’re proud to offer professional, stress-free fish transport—something we recently demonstrated during a specialist job moving 18 large, prize koi from Walthamstow to Birmingham.

Our client contacted us to help relocate his brother’s cherished koi collection, as his pond was being shut down. These weren’t just any koi—each one was a high-value, show-quality fish. Transporting them over 100 miles safely required experience, planning, and the right equipment.

Using our purpose-built DFTV (Dedicated Fish Transport Vessel), we ensured oxygenated, temperature-controlled conditions throughout the journey. Every part of the process was handled with care: fish health was monitored, and we minimised handling time to reduce stress. It’s these extra steps that make a real difference when it comes to the welfare of your fish.

Here’s what our client had to say:

“Morgan recently transported my brother’s prized koi carp from London to Birmingham to my pond, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, the service was absolutely flawless. He was extremely professional, helpful, and clearly very experienced with fish handling. Everything was done with care – the process was smooth, clean, and tidy, with no mess left behind.

Nothing was too much trouble for Morgan, and he went above and beyond to ensure the koi arrived safely and stress-free. A special mention also to his wife Natalie, who was incredibly knowledgeable and just as helpful throughout. Together, they make a fantastic team. If you need a trusted expert for fish transport, look no further – I can’t recommend them enough!”

Whether you’re rehoming fish due to a move, pond closure, or simply expanding your collection, ABBCO offers peace of mind from start to finish. We treat every fish as if it were our own.
