What is the difference between dropsy and a goldfish being pregnant?

The difference between dropsy and a goldfish being pregnant is that dropsy is a fatal condition caused by poor living conditions or an internal bacterial infection. This usually results in the body filling with fluid thus causing the fish to appear bloated. When goldfish get ready to spawn a female may appear slightly bloated or thick-bodied in accompaniment of the eggs in her abdomen. Goldfish use external fertilization to reproduce so therefore a pregnant goldfish is impossible. In general, if the fish is acting rather sluggish and is staying at the bottom, or if they start looking like a pine cone, (raised scales) it is probably dropsy.

Will shubunkin's breed with goldfish?

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.
