Shubunkin goldfish (Carassius auratus var. shubunkin)
Blue, red and black spotted goldfish, perfect for ponds or large aquariums
The Shubunkin goldfish(Carassius auratus var. shubunkin) is a very popular variety of goldfish, recognisable by its multicoloured blue, red, black and silver coat. Active, hardy and sociable, they are equally at home in spacious family aquariums or outdoor ponds.
Behaviour & maintenance
The Shubunkin is a lively, peaceful and gregarious fish. It likes to live in groups of at least 2 or 3 individuals in an aquarium of at least 60 to 80 litres per fish. They are very hardy, tolerate moderate temperature variations and are particularly happy in tanks.
Like all goldfish varieties, it should not be kept in a jar.
For more information, see our guide: Goldfish maintenance guide.
Diet
An omnivore, the Shubunkin eats flakes, pellets, poached vegetables and live food. Varying its diet helps to boost its colour and resistance to disease.
