Shubunkin 3-4"
Origin: The Shubunkin originates from East Asia and is a selectively bred variant of the common goldfish.
Temperature: The ideal temperature for Shubunkin is between 18°C to 22°C.
Feeding: They thrive on a varied diet including high-quality goldfish pellets or flakes, fresh vegetables, and occasional treats like brine shrimp or bloodworms.
Water Quality: Shubunkins prefer a pH range of 6.5 to 8.0 and moderate water hardness.
Ideal Aquarium Size: A minimum of 75 liters per fish is recommended, with ample swimming space and a well-filtered, oxygen-rich environment. Avoid overcrowding to maintain good water quality.
Lifespan: With proper care, Shubunkins can live up to 10-15 years, sometimes longer.
Community Tank Compatibility: They are peaceful fish and can be kept with other non-aggressive species of similar size. However, care should be taken to ensure that faster swimmers do not outcompete them for food.
Breeding: Breeding Shubunkins requires a spacious tank with good water quality. The process is triggered by increasing water temperatures in spring. Providing a spawning mop or fine-leaved plants can offer a place for the female to lay eggs. After spawning, it's advisable to remove adults to prevent them from eating the eggs.
