pond fish
Ornamental aquatic creatures
Fish kept in outdoor ponds, typically for ornamental purposes rather than food.
Koi and goldfish are the most common pond fish, prized for their colors and hardiness.
The term distinguishes these from aquarium fish kept indoors or game fish in lakes and streams: We need to bring the pond fish inside before the first freeze.
