Many thanks for advice Dave, I am not sure if my shubumkins are cockneys or bristolians needless to say they are as Manx as the hills now (even though they have tails). I will try and take a pic of my two later they are both good looking fish and the bigger one has a fantastic fan tail.

Heres a potted history of the shubunkin for you :-

Hope this helps you identify which ones you have

A few pics of my fish

Very nice pond!

 

[Hooded Ram]

Thanks Gemma, really enjoying it at the minute, and trying not to tinker too much. Just feeding little amounts a couple of times a day. I need a net though the gulls are very interested

 

[KC Crook]

Wow! That must be fun, and regrettfully, a money sucker to get it going again? I could see myself pouring tons of energy into making that pond beautiful again and it looks like you are! Great job and ask questions if you need help. The ppl here will help you best they can! Welcome and keep up the pics!

 

[Hooded Ram]

Thanks KC, it cost money and graft this is true. I wanted something I can enjoy for years without to much more expenditure it's a nice place for me and the dog to chill. I will have loads of questions coming up

Sounds like your already hooked! I'm thinking you're gonna want to make it larger, way sooner than "in a few years"

 

[Hooded Ram]

Haha no doubt, I am thinking of a few ways I could expand it. To be honest I love that side of it, the building phase.

Nice pond, welcome to the hobby
