This is an older photo and I only have 2 of these remaining (the two I think are koi.) The 2 I think are koi are the brown with gold and the speckled one on the left hand side. As now about double the size of in this photo Other than that, a low to moderate circulation is just fine. Since the Shubunkin is so hardy, their temperature and pH levels are a broader range than other fish. Maintain their tanks between 65°-72° F and pH levels from 6.0-8.0, and they should be just fine. They’re even easy when it comes to the substrate. 1) Supplemental Proteins. Quick answer: Brine shrimp, soybean meal, insects, bloodworms, silkworms. Freeze-dried silkworm koi treats are very high protein content. For added nutrition, your pond fish can be fed a multitude of other supplementary foods. Nearly all fish require 10 amino acids (the building blocks of protein), and these can be The tank size, water quality, and other factors all influence the life of a shubunkin. Maintain separation between males and females for Shubunkins because they are easy breeders. The wild goldfish breed in the summer, but in captivity, they breed all year. One shubunkin will require at least 20 gallons of water to grow large enough to fit in a Filtration systems: A good filtration system with a flow rate of 5-10x your tank size is perfect for shubunkins as these are active fish that produce a lot of waste. Ammonia and nitrites: these should always ideally be at zero. However, shubunkins can produce a lot of nitrates and if need be can tolerate up to 20 ppm. kMURv.
