Shubunkin Goldfish

The Shubunkin is a hardy, single-tailed goldfish variety renowned for its spectacular calico colouration — a unique mix of blue, orange, red, white, and black patches over a nacreous (semi-transparent) scale type. The most prized specimens feature a deep blue base colour with splashes of other colours. Like the Comet, Shubunkins are vigorous swimmers that thrive in outdoor ponds and can reach impressive sizes. The Bristol, London, and American varieties each have distinct tail fin shapes.
