Professional Fish Transport From Romford to Clacton-on-Sea
Professional Pond Fish Transport You Can Trust
Moving your pond fish from Romford, London to Clacton-on-Sea isn’t a quick job — and it’s definitely not something to attempt without the right equipment and expertise. Koi, goldfish, orfe, and sturgeon are all highly sensitive to stress, temperature swings, and poor handling.
At ABBCO, we transport fish the correct way:
No bags — ever
Using their own pond water to avoid chemistry shock
Sock nets for safe, gentle catching
Professional aerated transport tanks
Controlled, low-stress conditions from start to finish
Your fish stay safe, calm, and properly supported throughout the entire journey.
Why Our Fish Transport Method Is Safer
No Bags – Only Proper Transport Tanks
We never transport fish in plastic bags. Bags cause stress, limit oxygen, and create ammonia buildup. Instead, we use purpose-built, oxygenated transport tanks that keep your fish stable.
Their Own Pond Water for Zero Shock
Fish are already acclimised to their pond’s exact pH, temperature, and mineral content. Transporting them in that same water prevents:
Shock
Stress
Fin clamping
Breathing issues
Behavioural problems
Sock Nets for Gentle, Safe Handling
Sock nets protect the slime coat and prevent fin tears or scale damage. We move fish calmly and slowly — no chasing, no splashing, no panic.
Temperature & Oxygen Stability Throughout the Journey
Your fish travel in darkened, stable conditions with continuous aeration. No sudden changes. No guesswork.
How the Transport Process Works:
Step 1 — Pre-Move Assessment
We check pond access, water quality, fish size/species, and relocation requirements to create a safe move plan.
Step 2 — Catching with Sock Nets
We guide each fish gently into sock nets, protecting their body and reducing stress before transfer.
Step 3 — Transport in Your Pond Water
Fish are placed into aerated tanks filled with your own pond water, keeping all parameters familiar.
Step 4 — Secure Travel From Romford to Clacton-on-Sea
Our transport setup prevents vibration, overheating, light exposure, and oxygen loss during the journey.
Step 5 — Controlled Acclimation on Arrival
We gradually blend pond water, match temperatures, and observe behaviour before releasing fish into their new pond.
Step 6 — Aftercare Guidance
We advise on feeding, monitoring, and water quality to support fish during the settling period.
