Conceptualized
as a "One Stop Pond Shop" in the winter
of 2000, this retail store dedicated to Water Gardening
and Japanese Koi was started in the Summer of 2001
by Mark Curtis, the ex-General Manager of Picov's. Mark, a
pioneer in the hobbies of Water Gardening and
Koi-Keeping, has over the last decade been devoting
his time and energy to bringing back fine quality
hand-picked Japanese Koi, the likes of which have rarely
been seen in Canada.
"Making Pondkeeping
Simple" is the goal of Shekinah Aquatic
Solutions, and we design our customers' ponds below
water level, so they have the advantage of having a truly
functional pond. All aspects of filtration, circulation,
and aquatic life are considered when we design the pond.
What appears above the water level we leave to landscapers
to design.
At Shekinah Aquatic Solutions we
sell a complete line of pond equipment from leading
manufacturers like Hozelock Cyprio, Oase,
Cal Pump, and Danner, to name a few. Also a
full line of pond treatments, fish food and aquatic
chemicals; hand selected Japanese Koi for the
discerning Koi collector; and last but not least,a large
variety of aquatic plants, both hardy and tropical to
satisfy any pondkeeper's needs.

JAPANESE
KOI
Shekinah
Aquatic Solutions is Canada's "Koi Store".
We specialize in high end, hand-picked Japanese Koi.
Remember producing high end Koi is a challenge. It is a
complicated process involving bloodlines, genetics,
temperature, culling and growing of these beautiful fish.
The bigger challenge is in picking the quality fish.
There is a saying "Beauty is Skin Deep" but
with high quality Koi "Beauty is Deep in the Skin".
All colours on the high quality Koi should be embedded
deep in the skin so that the sharp clear colours and
patterns will emerge and stay beautiful for a long time.
It is better that young Koi do not "finish" too
early.
New Koi Shipment Arrived April 2011!
