Nik - 2005-11-27 I have two bristol shubunkin. I bought myself a small five gallon tank (on sale) for my birthday, and four little feeder goldfish to live in it. A year latter only one survived. Jean my blue shubunkin. His head is white so it looks like he is wearing a pair of jeans. Right away I noticed how little he would swim and how sad he appeared(for a fish). Off to the large fish store I go looking for a larger shubunkin for a friend. There I picked up fire, my orange coloured shubunkin. Three years later my two are now upgraded to a twenty-nine gallon and are mates to the ended. I love they way they swim around and play with each other. they are my cat's personal television.
James - 2005-11-26 Hello I just bought two goldfish! One is a black moore, and the other one is a pearlscale. They are only about an inch and 1/2. I also have two older goldfish that I got in the summer. They both are red capped orandas.Their names are chiech and chong and their about 2 inches long. Nov 2005
SteveE - 2005-11-04 I have Courtney Fish (ha ha caught 'ny fish?)and Joshcka Fish. They have been with me for 4 years. Don't know how long the little blighters live.
Woogalie - 2005-09-23 I just got 2 shubunkins today, I believe they are bristols. I have a little 30 gallon pond with lillies and other plants and 2 feeder goldfish i got for 12 cents each. Well I stuck the 2 in there this morning and within minutes the shubunkins were cruisin around with the other 2 prowling around in the pond. They all seem to get along very nicely. This afternoon I went back out to see them and 3 of them were chillin between the lilly stalks comin up from the pot. No nameds for them yet, hopefully they will inspire me this week and ill be able toname them. A+ Fishies!! Love em!
MoonHeart - 2005-09-12 I just got a shubunkin about a week ago(I had the free fish of the month thing they offer at jack aquarium and pets). He immedialty bonded with the rest of my fish(1 comet, 2 fantails, and a pearlscale). within the first day of bringing him home he'd swim along with the whole group, especially my pearlscale, they are best buds now. I just moved him, my pearlscale, and one of my fantails inside(they live in a pond in the summer) and the rest of my fish will be joining them shortly once the ammonia level had dropped in my tank. =) FISH RULE!
LJ - 2005-07-07 I have an adorable Shubunkin named Hank (after Hank Williams Jr). Maybe this sounds crazy, but I think he has just as much personality (perhaps more!) than any dog or cat. He's so much fun to watch!
Lacey Carr - 2005-07-04 I think my little shubunkin i just got is so adorable, i named him Henry and he's orange with a little white patch underneath. He gets on so well with my other comet Austin. He does tend to go a bit nuts and swim around madly moving all the stones, it's so funny to watch. I will be sure to invest in getting more so the boys have girlies :P
Kym and Brendan - 2005-07-03 We have two shubunkins called Sub Zero and Momus. They are very lively ( sometimes a little bit TOO lively) Sub zero has already made an escape attempt but was rescued from the carpet. As long as they stay in the tank..and don't try to run/swim away we are very happy with them
Trish - 2005-06-06 I have a Shubunkin name Donald Trout and he is so sweet. He will follow me around the pond and watch me for hours. He has so much personallity, it is like having a slimy puppy in the pond.
Micky - 2005-05-26 I'm new to the world of Shubunkin's, but am already a fan. Wish I'd had these as a kid. We have five: Marilyn the prettiest who's mostly white with red and grey, Charlie who's more orange than any other colour, Fred who always looks grumpy, Doris who's named so for no other reason than lack of imagination, and Betty. Bossy Betty Blue runs the roost & I think she's a Bristol, as her tail's rounder than the others. I agree with previous comments, they're very acrobatic swimmers and great fun to watch. I love 'em.
The Shubunkin Goldfish have a wild calico patterning set on a blue background... a color which is quite rare in goldfish!
