I had an aquarium crash and lost my 11+year old common goldfish and my 5 year old Shubunkin....I am crushed and I will never have another single tail again unless I have a HUGE pond.....I was working on keeping them healthy until I could move them to someones pond this summer....I will miss you Goldie and Baldy I feel like I failed them, Baldy was the first pet my husband and I got after getting married 11 years ago he will be greatly missed I am sad they never got the chance to go into a real pond and swim in a big open free space.

The last thing you want to hear someone say to their kid is "Hey! Where'd you find that syringe?"

Just for the info, i have had shubunkins in an aquarium for years and enjoy them a lot, good that you put them in the spotlight.

Shubunkin goldfish are definitely in my list of favourite fish to keep--especially outside in a pond.

I'm a new fish keeper. You're channel has been very informative, and helpful. I started with bettas than moved into African Cichlids. Currently sitting on a 70gal with a variety of fishes. A male and female betta, my main, a green terror, a convict, a Jack Dempsey, a yellow jacket, an oscar, a blue arcana, some cherry barbs, 2 pelcos, and giant danios. I also included a shubunkin, all of them are roughly about 2 to 3 plus inches now, excpt for the schools about 1 1/2 inch. It's been fascinating watching all of them get along and push hierarchy. I love my shubunkin. He's so flamboyant or she. He even pretends to push others around. Follow by their lead and it confuses the hell out of the cichlids. I think he helps keep the tank at balance. For my tank anyways. He dances, I see it as that. Sometimes he'll even get my green terror to join in and copy moves. As well as my Jack Dempsey. Someday I'll definitely put him with his kind but for now we're going to act like a family. Feeding time is when they are nicest to eachother. Keep up the videos.

Love your goldfish videos. I’ve been into tropicals for a couple of years but in the last year have discovered my love for goldfish! It’s nice to see a channel that gives good info on the high and specific needs of goldfish!

Love shubunkins! I have 3 in a 55 for now. They’re active, beautiful and personable.

110 percent gonna be keeping Shubunkin. They’re interesting visually and their little personalities are fun. When I do a fish tank, it’s gonna be a Shubunkin.

I have 5 shubunkins in my outdoor pond (my first time keeping fish), they're so so beautiful!! They're super hardy and easy to care for! The only downside is they poop a lot, so regular water changes are a must. I don't regret having them at all, they're great!! 🤗❤

If you do get a Moor I highly advise looking for the Shonka line to make sure it's one that will STAY black.
I personally would lower a common to a 55 minimum tank. While the rare fish hits 12 inches most never pass 7 or 8.

After this video I want to add this fish to my aquarium 😭 great video!!

I was looking into getting a goldfish after my friend told me they can last many years with proper care. I think my favorites that I've seen so far are the Shubunkin and red/white Wakin. They give the most koi fish look to me. I'd like a koi fish but they are a bit too expensive and large for my situation

[loavesfishes]

I don’t have shubunkins, but I do have wakin and common goldfish. I love the wakin for my pond because of their double tails and fancy red and white coloring! It’s a smallish pond that I regularly hand feed, so I know they get enough to eat. Goldfish are a wonderful fish!

[PunchiePaints]

very pretty shubunkin. I think you may have to keep an eye on things if you add fancy goldfish to the same tank - they tend to be much slower moving and could get out competed for the food. Looking forward to seeing what you get 😊

[dbacon]

Dude I find you very entertaining and informative which is the perfect combination for good video making. Try not to over think it and just be yourself. It works great for you!

[patrickgoncalves]

My favorite fish was a Shubunkin very similar to yours, Tiger, he had a Bristol tail. He was really big.

When in temperatures consistently over 22-24 C long-term goldfish do actually become more succeptible to illnesses, because many pathogens prefer warm water. I saw this in personal experience. I think this is similar to temperate plants like many bonsai. They don't like not having winter rest.

I’m getting some shabunkins for my pond. I love them

[jayydickerson]

I have some comet goldfish, which I will be adding a pair of shubunkins to their tank. I will have seven goldfish and two gold dojo loaches in total and they are being moved into a 125 gallon tank from a 40 breeder soon. I keep my tank at 70 degrees just to maintain consistent temperature

Shes so cute! I keep a shebunkin and a ryukin they are absolutely stunning. High five on this video Palmer!
