All pond life is collected from natural ponds and although care is taken samples may contain other specimens. (Please note, these living specimens are not guaranteed to stay at the pond in which they are originally put in to).

We provide aquarium collections that are ideal for demonstrating the range of organisms found within an aquatic ecosystem. Our pond life is ideal for classroom or laboratory experiments. From dragonfly nymphs and water fleas (Daphnia pulex) to pond snails and leeches, we’ve got all kinds of organisms to help you learn about the world of aquatic invertebrates.

Our native pond life can be added to your garden pond to balance the ecosystem and address problems such as algal blooms or too many mosquito larvae or just to boost biodiversity and provide organisms to watch and enjoy year-round.
