XL Goldfish Shubunkin Carassius Auratus 20cm

Overview: The Shubunkin Goldfish, a vibrant and active member of the Carassius Auratus family, is a delightful addition to any freshwater aquarium. Known for their unique calico patterns, which include a mix of blues, oranges, reds, blacks, and whites, these goldfish add a splash of color and liveliness to your tank. Typically growing up to 12-18 inches, they are an ideal choice for both ponds and spacious aquariums.

Origin: Originally bred in Japan in the early 20th century, Shubunkin Goldfish are a result of crossbreeding different goldfish varieties. Their calico patterns and elongated, single-tailed body make them easily distinguishable from other goldfish species.

Feeding: Shubunkin Goldfish are omnivores and thrive on a balanced diet of high-quality goldfish pellets or flakes, supplemented with occasional treats like brine shrimp, daphnia, and blanched vegetables. Overfeeding should be avoided as it can lead to health issues and water quality problems.

Tank Mates: Ideal tank mates are other goldfish varieties such as the Common Goldfish, Comet Goldfish, and other Shubunkins, as they share similar requirements and temperament. Avoid housing them with aggressive or fin-nipping species.

Aggression: Shubunkins are generally peaceful and sociable fish, making them a great choice for community tanks with other non-aggressive species. Their gentle nature allows for a harmonious aquatic environment.

Experience Level: Suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists, Shubunkin Goldfish are hardy and relatively easy to care for. However, their need for a larger space and proper filtration makes them more suitable for those ready to maintain a medium to large-sized tank.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 65-72°F (18-22°C)
  • pH: 6.5-7.5
  • Water Hardness: 5-19 dGH

Regular water changes and proper filtration are essential to maintain these parameters and ensure a healthy environment for your Shubunkin Goldfish.
