Yeah. If you want the fish to die fairly soon. Shubunkins are Goldfish and they grow to over 10 inches long. The basic rules for successfully keeping fish are as follows. " 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. (To have enough Oxygen and swim space) :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter (To remove naturally occurring ammonia). Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. (to reduce Nitrates). If you follow the above rules your fish will stand a reasonable chance of survival. If you don't, I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick and will have a shortened lifespan.

Have Five gallon tank with two molly fish can you put a goldfish in there?
Wouldn't recommend putting a goldfish in a 5 gallon tank-regardless of what type or size of goldfish. This is because the goldfish would be stunted causing it to have an untimely death. The condition in which a goldfish is "stunted" is where the fish adjusts to its tiny environment so much as to stop growing. The fish will stop growing on the outside but will continue to grow on the inside. Goldfish are naturally messy and create a LOT of waste. This factor would cause the tanks water to be poluted which inturn could kill not only the goldfish but possible your mollies too :(. Two mollies is enough for a five gallon tank. If you truly want to get a goldfish you will have to house the goldfish in a 10-20 gallon tank with very good filtration
