POA
Size: Up to 25-35cm
Age: 10-15 years in the right environment
Timeframe: Takes approximately 3 years to be full grown
Colouring: Striking calico colouration. Shubunkins display a mix of colours including blue, red, orange, yellow, and black, often with an iridescent sheen.
Prime Conditions: Water temperatures between 8? to 23? and a pH level of 6.5 to 7.5. They are best kept in well-oxygenated water with strong filtration to handle their high waste output. These fish are also active swimmers and require plenty of space to move, whether in a pond or a large tank.
Sociability: Peaceful, get along well with other species
Habitat: Good for Ponds and Aquariums, but they’re interactive creatures and thrive best with a bit of room to move.
Spawn: Spring-Autumn
Singular fish for the serious aquarist, these Shubunkins are absolute show stoppers. Queensland’s alternative to Koi, they are no poor-man’s alternative. Gorgeous, interactive and friendly, these stunning creatures thrive on socialising so, if you can only afford one at this sise, we recommend chosing a selection from one in our range of smaller sizes and watching them grow.
