Shubunkins are extremely distinctive in their coloration, with much variation between individual fish. They are blue with color appearing to come from beneath the scales rather than from above as traditional goldfish.

Shubunkins lack the silvery reflective scales, giving them a nonmetallic sheen. They have a black, red, and orange mottling set on a bluish background. Their body is shaped like a comet, with long fins and a racy body.

Shubunkins are great fish for ponds. They do not consume the pond plants in large quantities, and they are a hardy pond fish. They are colorful and will grow large enough to look dramatic.

Fantails have a large double tail and come in many colors. The calico- which is white, red, and black, is one of the most popular fantails.

We have 3 different types of Fantails: Calico, Red, and Sarasa.
