Shubunkins

My Shubunkins. Shubunkins, similar to the common golfish, except for the colouration, which is known as calico and usually lacks or has very small amounts of reflective pigment, making the fish look scaless, but also allows pigments deeper with the skin to show through, causing random blotches of red, orange, black, blue, brown and yellow appear on a white/pinkish background.

Shubunkins that look identical to common goldfish in shape are known as London shubunkins, shubunkins that are thinner and have long round lobed fins are known as Bristol shubunkins. Also shubunkins with large amounts of blue are known as blue shubunkins and those with large amounts of black are known as black shubunkins. Black shubunkins are rarely seen, so I guess I'm lucky to have one.

shubby's are the best. each one has unique markings or cool patterns

@Obliv69 The same can be said for any calico coloured goldfish. I prefer the calico fantails, I have one which has no colouration at all, just a solid pinkish white, which you can see in another vid of mine.

em why r u keepin them in a tub is it just to show how many fishes you have or you dont have a fish pond . just want 2 know

[Sean0fenton]

@MOMOFAN001 Yeah they were in the tub just to show them off. I keep them in a pond and at the timje the vid was taken I did a partial water change so I put them in that small tub to show them off before returning them to the pond.
