Shubunkin is just a fancy name given to a specifically coloured Goldfish. Breeding one with a Golden coloured goldfish will result in about 33% that look like a Shubunkin and 33% that look like a Golden coloured goldfish and 33% that look like a mixture of the two. The above results would only be accurate if the breeder fish are properly line bred and their lineage is guaranteed. Otherwise you could get anything from coloured goldfish to uncoloured goldfish and a mixture of any kind of goldfish including Comets, Fantails and Veiltails.
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
I want to know how the best way to breed them is too, and also when is their breeding season or do they have one?
Goldfish is the common name for a freshwater fish.You have several different types of goldfish two examples:Commons. and Shubunkins plus plenty more.here is a picture of different breeds of goldfish.http://www.goldfish.ws/goldfish.jpg
Try Shubunkins. If this is what you want. they look like goldfish but they are coloured with black blue white and gold. and they arent hard to get. They are as common as gold fish
Yes, goldfish can breed in the home aquarium.
Usually Goldfish breed spring and early summer
Yes most goldfish are cross bred and can throw anything from grey to coloured and comets to veiltails and shubunkins. The dark fry you have may well develop colour when they are a couple of inches long so don't be disheartened.
In late spring of early summer is the best time to breed goldfish.
Yes they can cross breed.
