Shubunkin Goldfish can have many colors in its patterning, which has led to it often being referred to as the Calico Goldfish. These colors include yellows, oranges, reds, browns, blacks, purples, grays, and whites, all set on a blue background. Like many Goldfish, they make amazing additions to indoor aquariums and outdoor ponds. They are at home in colder waters which means they are ideal for ponds. Their colors can even resemble the more expensive Koi which makes them ideal to create a stunning pond on a budget. If you are looking to get the most out of your fish, then making sure they have enough room to grow will allow them to live for many years to come. Therefore, having a pond is the best habitat as it will give them space to grow, however it is not mandatory.
