Shubunkin

It's so important to consider the end result when stocking a pond - if a pond can support six or eight fish max, then the math should tell you to buy two. Or better yet one... because they won't stop at eight! The fish don't read the same rules we do! With that many shubunkins - even small ones - you need a bigger pond, STAT.

Know that first timers go crazy and buy more fish then they should that s what happened to me I'll have to learn from my mistake s

Yup - we've all been there! Shame on the fish sellers for not giving better guidance.

I've got red and white shubunkin I've seen a lot of colours but I can't find any other colours in Malta I'm not gonna stop looking until I get some I love the Bristol shubunkin there beautiful

if u only see red white then they are sarasa , ithink they breed more in start , once u have more population and bigger fish , the babies wil have less surviving rate as water will become harsh too . it depends if u feed them alot they will grow but not that fast if u have small pond . they may reach 6 to 7 inch in 2 years , u can add koi to control population .btw we think we can have good fishes from breeding but its not the case , usualy in shops uil find better quality bcz of selective breeding . i had lots of shubs but majority will not be good quality . most of them wil be plain red or plain white after few breedings .

Yeah 4 days after I got them I found 3 young a few days later I found 11more baby s

how big are the young?. The eggs take like 2-3 days to hatch and you would not really be able to see the young swimming around. when they first hatch they cant swim until 2-3 days and is as small as your eyelash...

3 are 1 cm long the others as big as an ant

those are not the babies of the one you just put in then It's impossible. (since you said you put in 4 days and already found babies). Do you have other fish?

No I found them after 2 months

I had shubbies and they breed like bunnies and have a habit of jumping out during breeding .I don't have them any more Fat fantails stay small and seem to never breed and hand feeding them from the start makes them so friendly

haha ok I missed read your comment then! I have smaller fish to eat the babies because I don't want too many in my pond. But wathcing them grow is a lot of fun.. the colors are interesting to wait and see what they can come out to.
