{"product_id":"blue-shubunkin-goldfish","title":"Blue Shubunkin Goldfish","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe shubunkin is a single-tailed calico goldfish (Carassius auratus). What makes a good one is the scale type: nacreous scales are part matt and part transparent, which lets the underlying blue-grey pigment show through. The blue ground is the most sought-after and the least common, overlaid with patches of black, orange, red and white. Colour continues to develop for a year or more, so a young fish is not showing you its final pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAquarium care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-tailed and long-bodied — a fast swimmer that reaches 25 cm or more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColdwater; a heater is unnecessary in a normally heated room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeeds a long tank with real swimming length and generous volume.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy waste output means strong filtration and frequent water changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed sinking pellets with blanched vegetables; it will graze soft plants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong-lived, often well beyond a decade with good care.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep shubunkins with comets and other single-tailed goldfish of similar size rather than with slow fancy varieties.
