Clearwater Ponds & Aquatics

Tucked into the rural landscape of Narvon, Pennsylvania, Clearwater Ponds & Aquatics is a destination store for pond keepers and freshwater enthusiasts across Lancaster County and beyond. The operation centers on what it does best: koi, goldfish, pond plants, and everything you need to build and maintain a backyard water feature. The star attraction is the koi selection, which swells impressively during the summer months.

Reviewers consistently single out the butterfly koi as standouts — beautiful fish at prices that undercut much of the regional competition. Staff member Ray has earned a reputation as a knowledgeable guide through the buying process, helping customers match the right fish and supplies to their setup. Whether you're stocking a new pond or adding a showpiece butterfly koi to an established collection, the quality-to-price ratio here draws people back season after season.

Beyond the fish, Clearwater operates a greenhouse stocked with aquatic plants and pond supplies — a setup that gives their plant inventory a lush, well-maintained feel you don't always find at standard pet stores. The greenhouse doubles as a browsing experience, and the broader inventory covers pond accessories, aquarium supplies, and even surplus home goods, giving the store an eclectic character that sets it apart. Pricing is generally praised as very reasonable, though a few shoppers have noted that certain items run on the higher side.

The consensus, however, leans heavily toward value — especially on live koi and goldfish. The staff earns consistent praise for being approachable and professional, with bilingual customers noting excellent service as well. For pond hobbyists in the Narvon area and the broader Pennsylvania countryside, Clearwater Ponds & Aquatics is the kind of specialty shop that rewards the drive.

The koi selection alone is worth the trip, and the greenhouse full of aquatic plants and accessories rounds out a focused, well-run operation.
