The name shubunkin means "red brocade" in Japanese. They are also often called "calico goldfish." Shubunkin goldfish tend to have calico-like coloring with mixes of black, gold/orange, red and white. They also come in a beautiful light blue color which is actually the base color for most of these fish. Many shubunkins have a "see through" look to them because their scales are actually clear despite the colors they come in. They have a long flowing single tail, flowing fins and a long body. They can live in both aquariums and ponds. In a pond, they can grow up to about 18 inches.
