Shubunkins are goldfish, so therefore mixing goldfish with goldfish is usually not a problem. However, if the other goldfish are fancy then mixing them together would not be recommended.
No. Shubunkins and Comets are about the same. A garden pond is the best place for all goldfish including the above.
They are not . I have kept shubunkins and goldfish and they are not harmful to man. They are only harmful to smaller fish such as minnows

you will need a gallon for every inch the shubunkins grow you will need at least one gallon for a snail
Goldfish are pretty hard to sex unless you're very good at it such as a breeder, but in shubunkins, typically the female will be plumper than the male
Some goldfish (Shubunkins) have purple stomachs so it means nothing to me. If however there is something lumpy or festering then please give a more detailed description of the fish and its tank and conditions etc and I may be able to advise you.
