Shubunkin goldfish are a popular and attractive variety of goldfish known for their colorful and variegated patterns.
 
Appearance: Shubunkins typically have a streamlined body shape similar to common goldfish, with a slightly elongated and rounded body. What sets them apart is their striking calico coloration, which includes patches of red, orange, blue, black, and white. The color pattern is reminiscent of a calico cat, hence the name.
Size: They can grow quite large, reaching lengths of up to 12 inches (30 centimeters) or even larger under ideal conditions. Proper care and a spacious environment are necessary for them to reach their full potential size.
Temperament: Shubunkins are generally peaceful and sociable fish, making them suitable for community aquariums with other goldfish varieties or similar-sized tank mates. They are active swimmers and enjoy exploring their environment.
Care Requirements: Like all goldfish, Shubunkins require a well-maintained aquarium or pond with ample space to swim and grow. They prefer cooler water temperatures ranging from 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C) and good water quality. Regular water changes, proper filtration, and adequate aeration are essential for their health and well-being.
Diet: Shubunkin goldfish are omnivores and will eat a varied diet consisting of high-quality fish flakes or pellets, as well as occasional treats such as live or frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and chopped vegetables like peas or blanched spinach.
