- In this episode we will be discussing one of my favorite fish, the shubunkin goldfish.
My lovely wife and my eldest grandson Jaxon will be doing the narration. They do an amazing job.
This profile on the shubunkin goldfish is based on what I know to be true. The fish you see were all bred and born in my ponds.
Hello Jackson and Mrs Stubbings what a wonderful surprise 🥰🙏♥️
WOW thank you so much for this!! I really enjoyed learning the history and everything shubunkin!!
In my opinion these fish are the most elegant, graceful and fascinating!! Who couldn't fall in love?
I was already in love with these fish but after watching this video being a must have is going to have to come a little more quickly😁♥️
Color is another big thing for me! The patterns of these fish just take my breath away ❤️
Chris you can see the love, dedication and time that has come with years of hard work shining through in everything you do!!
Taking the time to share your experience and yes your expertise with others makes you and your Channel very special!!
You definitely have great things coming your way!!
Thank you to you and your family for sharing everything you do!! Much love from my family to yours 🙏🌿🐟🌿💚❤️
Thanks so very much Mary.
You have to be the kindest person ever.
My family means everything.. I know yours does too.
I think my wife did an excellent job and hoping she will do another vid or a narration real soon.
I look forward to doing a joint adventure
Take care my friend
@@stubbsaquatics6080The same to you Chris🙏
She did an absolutely lovely job and I look so forward to seeing more of you together!!
To create what you have created there is a true labor of love ♥️
The memories that Jackson, your grandchildren, your family and
friends are making is so special!
It was my grandfather who inspired me to love fish, animals and nature.(II know🤣'm a little sentimental 😭) Inspiring future generations 💪💖
I look forward to collaborating with you as well!!
Thank you again to you and your family and I hope you have a wonderful day!!🙏🌿🐟🌿💚💖💝🥰

Will try... Thanks my friend 🤗
@@stubbsaquatics6080 You have some AWESOME ponds
& some FABULOUS LOOKING FISH, that has been very
well taken care of & the aquariums with goldfish breeds
O-M-😮I tried putting my goldfish in a 75 gal aquarium
& that didn't turn out too good but I guess 9 of them
wasn't meant to be in 1 tank when 3 of them are almost
a ft long but don't worry they survived & was put back in
the 110 gal stock tank & doing great again.
@@unitedwestanddividedwefall2073 thanks for the very kind words. I have a high density in the winter months. I try to do as much filtration as I can and I back off on the feed during the winter..
I haven't lost a fish doing it this way.
Thanks again for your support and kindness.
Good luck with your big Goldies. Would love to see them
Fish look awesome, you really can’t go wrong with single tailed goldfish/ shubunkin if you’ve got the space 🌿🐟🌿
Ty Ginger Fishy .. very kind of you. I really appreciate it
Exciting this tour of your aquariums and tale of your beloved Shubunkin fish! Your grandson grew up watching fish and your tanks. Thank you for this great passion of yours that you share with all of us. Good day Chris and family.
Thanks so much Marco

Thanks Dave. I really appreciate that. That is so kind of you. I am glad you learned and enjoyed.
I am hoping this year's spawn will be very interesting
Beautiful fish!! Thanks for the information on them!! Great video 👍
Thanks so much Jenny Lynn
Now Chris this was very interesting to hear about, and it looks like you have put a lot of time work and effort in to the breeding and upkeep of your stock, keep up the good work mate 👍👍
Ty so much Gary.. I certainly have over the years.. Been kinda fun to see what I can get over the years.
I really appreciate the kind comments ... They mean a lot
They are so beautiful and well cared. Great information. Your wife did an amazing job and Jaxon. awesome video Chris have a good weekend to you all.

Ty dear for doing this.. Awesome job...both of you.. Your the best
Thanks for all the information! Currently setting up my own pond!
Thanks kim
wow, awesome, love the narrations. Blessings my brotha
Ty buddy.. See you on your next video
Very nice fish Chris 👍
Who knew there was so much to know about Shubunkins.
Stay safe.
Ty keith.. ya crazy amount of info...
As you know it's even worse for koi
great sharing, very informative, excellent narration by your wife Cris maybe someday I will get a Shubunkin, like the intro of your grandson Jaxon, happy weekend
Ty so so very much.. glad you liked it..
A very interesting video. A big thumbs up from Chris and Jane. Love the fish 👍
Thanks so much.. Chris and Jane..
Gotta love the name Chris.. We are all good people 😂I sure appreciate the support
Great video and some amazing looking shubunkins. The tails and fins are immaculate without tears or fraying which can be difficult to obtain in long finned varieties. Thank you to your wife for calling them what they are "shubunkin goldfish". I've heard so many people tell me they are not goldfish but rather just subunkins. Oh well, each to their own. 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
Ty so much Ken. I really appreciate that..
I agree with you.
Luckily I have not had a problem with fraying with any of my shubunkin goldfish. I wish I could of started out with better brood but through selective breeding I think I have a good line going.. Ty again Ken.. Most Koi owners will only watch or comment on koi.. I like all kinds of fish...Take care my friend
Great video. Thanks
Thanks so very much. I really appreciate you watching and commenting
Really nice video. You have some stunning examples there !
Awww thanks so very much.. I truly appreciate that.
It’s the fins for me on these stunners ! 🤩 great family collaboration 😆❤️👏
Only thing better would if you were on... Ty
Beautiful shubunkins, congratulations.
Thanks so very much. Your kind comments are very much appreciated. Take care
🤩🤩🤩 your fish are always so stunning Chris
Thanks buddy
Fantastic pond Chris

Thanks my friend.. I will let her know
Awesome video!!!
Thanks I really appreciate that...
Excellent and informative!
Thanks so very much
I really have forgotten how beautiful goldfish are, and what a great economical option with energy prices at present!
Great video from the family Stubbs
Thanks so very much. I really appreciate it. I truly like these guys. If I didn't have my koi my main ponds would be full of shubunkin goldfish
Lovely shubs mate n a great informative video. If i could find some quality looking shubs like yours where i live i'd probably have a few in my pond with my koi
Ty my friend that means a lot . It has taken me years to get these guys through breeding them..
Thank you for sharing this info! Got our first today. Not new to fish, but relative new to goldfish types. Hope to keep learning more ;0)
Thanks so very much.
Oh nice. You will enjoy the goldfish.
Take care and all the best
I love Shubunkins!!! They have very eye-catching colors and you have some gorgeous ones from your crop. Boy, Jackson is getting big!!! Have a great week Stubbings family!!
Ty Dee.. Hope you and family are well.
I so appreciate your kind words and support.
Jax will have a bigger role this Friday 😀..
Take care my friend.. Good luck on moving all those shrubs .... Man when you do something... Go big or go home WOW
@@stubbsaquatics6080 😂🤣😅 I'd prefer I didn't have too. I create a lot of work for myself

Thank you ❤️
Thanks for watching
Great video 👍 extremely well done brother 😁
Ty buddy
Learning something today! thanks friend! always full support! keep safe, good health and more power!
Ty Geoffrey.. I appreciate it
Very informative, good upload folks.👍
Ty Simon.. I sure appreciate the support
I have a 55-gallon tank with 5 Shubunkin and 2 fantails (hope to jump to 75-gallon soon) and although I haven't had luck with most plants, they have left my Amazon swords alone for the most part as well as the pothos cuttings I have hanging in the water.
Thanks so very much for watching. They will like the bigger tank.
I have some stem plants and java ferns in with my mid sized shubunkin goldfish along with some floating plants but my full grown adult would eat my floating plants especially the roots .. now as far as pothos I have them now in all my shubunkin goldfish tanks. They leave those roots alone for the most part.
Interesting about the Amazon sword.. I would love to see your set ups. I have updated a lot of my shubunkin goldfish tanks since this video.
Thanks again
Awesome video guy's 💯👌👌👌
Ty pal
Great video. I got my fish Blue Ridge. As you know shubunkins are my favorite. Thanks for sharing.
Ty Terry. I thought you had because of their quality..
Maybe one day.
Really glad you enjoyed it . Was kinda waiting to see if you liked it... You and I are huge shubunkin fans
Your wife has a lovely voice. You sound like wonderful people. All the Best to You!
Aww thanks so very much.
I will let her know.
She now does a lot of narration on the profiles I do. She does an excellent job.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
Beautiful fish
Awww thanks so very much
Hello there guys that is so cute introduction by Jackson 😍... Very informative content thanks to your wife 😊... Those shubunkin gold fish awesome I love the colours.few years ago I have some in my pond but they been gone now.
Ty Kristel.
It was nice of them to take part.
Too bad about yours.. I bet you can get some pretty awesome ones there..
Are you going to bring out some of those beautiful goldfish you have now?
@@stubbsaquatics6080 yes my friend 😊.
🇮🇪 very nice aquariums and very beautiful fish 🐡🐟🐠🐟🐡🐠🐡there so beautiful
Ty buddy
Yesssssssss.... Love Jackson and your wife's narration:). What a special treat from her. Also, learn alot about these and they are indeed peaceful and soo pretty. More of this please and happy Sunday❤️❤️
Well Ty my friend.. Glad you enjoyed..
Next Friday Jaxon has even a bigger role..
Sorry I will be talking a bit.. I have a face for radio but a voice for silent movies.. Can't win... 😂
@@stubbsaquatics6080 Can't wait to see it and you are soo funny hahaha😂😂😂
Absolutely lovely fish you have Chris lovely commentary from your wife stay safe and well
Ty Carol.. your the best.. nice haul you got on your last vid
Just cant wait for pond season to start again Chris will be doing stuff early April
This was really great info on them! Man that's some price tag, but relatively long lived fish at least. I love how Sandra says you work hard and deserve some! 🥰 You've bred some really beautiful fish there, love that finnage and those colors! Such graceful movements, too. 👍🙂
Awww Ty Tara.. I don't think I could buy those at that price.. I would not allow myself to...if that makes sense.. Hate putting price tags on everything...but I do when it comes to this hobby of ours..
Ty again for all your kindness and support
@@stubbsaquatics6080 most hobbies are expensive though unfortunately. At least they pay us back in joy (for the most part, haha).
They do my friend
epic vedio 👀👍
watching & supporting here
Ty very much
Awesome and informative vid buddy! Your wife has a calm, southing and great to hear voice. Great to see how your grandson gets exited to feed the fish all the way at the end
Ty Cedric.. Next Friday he takes over a lot of it.
Hope all is well
@@stubbsaquatics6080 yeah all is good here. Wil defo check it out!
Ty buddy.. how are the ponds
@@stubbsaquatics6080 they are fine, a lot of algea thow. The temps don't realy get low enough to get rid of the algea.
cool info man this was some great fish you breeding man 52 💪💪🐟🐟🐠🐠🐟🐟
Ty so very much
Awesome video guys you know we love these guys……..the plans for the pond are underway…..these guys will definitely be in it!!
Ty Dan..
Can't wait to see.. if we lived close I would drive down and give you a hand
@@stubbsaquatics6080 well someday you’ll get the chance to come and visit the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame here in Cleveland maybe and while you’re here you’ll be able to come and check it all out that would be fun…. Maybe we’ll stir you up a big quinoa salad while you’re here too you’ll love it👍
Ya would love that.
Nice my friend watching po.
hello I'm from Indonesia, very lucky to meet you, even though we are from different countries. your video work is very beautiful, I always see it from every notification message that comes to the end of the video, I really appreciate your work, hopefully we can meet again in your latest video!
Well hello
Good to meet you.. Hope you enjoyed the video
shubunkins are one of the most beautiful goldfish
I totally agree with you. Thanks so very much.
Nice sharing of this goldfish
Have a great day
See you around
Ty I appreciate that.. you have a great night.. will check your channel out
Very well done! Hope to hear more of you in Chris' videos...
I will ask ... I know I have a face for radio and a voice for silent movies 😂
@@stubbsaquatics6080 Well Chris, I got you beat on both those fronts... so don't Complain... you've got a face and voice that won you a smart and beautiful woman, and that should be enough...
Ty pal.. We both did well
Shubunkins are so underrated! They're like koi but economic, hardier, friendlier even, and doesn't take that much space. I'd pick them over koi hehe.
My pond is already inhabited by fancy goldfish so i guess its not my time yet
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I would love to see your fancy goldfish. This Friday I am releasing the video of my very best shubunkin goldfish. I have been selectively breeding them . These new ones are my future.. They are show quality.. I think so anyway 😂
@@stubbsaquatics6080 they are very lovely!! I hope they do win contest
Nice fish :)
Ty very much
Very interesting. Shubunkins are beautiful 😍 Also, awesome family channel.
Ty so much Sid.. I so appreciate it.. How are all the koi...snug in their warm pond.. lucky fish..
Yup just fed them their pellets. They are getting a bit of spinach today too.
Oh nice.. my barbs love it too
nice
Thanks, I appreciate your kindness
brilliant video stubs and i think you should set up a new tank looks like you have the wife's go ahead on the decision lol
Oh, I did set up a few new ones since his video went out. I'm trying to talk her into an indoor pond. You think you can help me with that? Hahaha thanks again my friend. Have a great weekend!
Very beautiful goldfish and clear water. Is this because of the close relationship with Lake Ontario? Very rarely, my video shows a pond in a tourist destination in Japan.🐶🤗❤️❤️👍186
I live a hour or two away from Lake Ontario. I live north of there.
I love the Japanese culture and have modelled my backyard with that in mind mixing japan and Canada in one
Wow! I love it! You’ve got the whole family involved. Sandra did an amazing job narrating! She’s definitely a pro! Did you change the music to your intro or am I just late noticing? Once again, awesome video packed with great information! Thanks for sharing 💚
I change music and pictures in intro a vid or two back... You are the only one who noticed.. or commented..
My wife has a great voice for narration.. can't sing... 😂
Yes loved how family was involved. Family is important to me.. Very..
Ty for your kindness and glad you enjoyed..
Jax is a cute little guy.. next vid he does a lot more ...
Thankyou for the video.
I look forward to to catching up on older ones.
How can I buy some of your shUbunkins. Do you ship?
I had picked up a few many years ago from a local hobbyist and did well with them until a home move.
I saw avery large one 2 years ago, predominantly black and red with odd blue patches, absolutely beautiful.
Sorry you lost some Al but it happens.
Thanks so very much for watching. I have been breeding a lot more shubunkin goldfish.
Unfortunately I don't ship as it would be very cost prohibitive. I do sell to some stores and pond facilities.
Thanks again
Woww 👍🏻
Thanks
Cool info Chris and thank Mrs Stubbs for the cool presentation! Your Shubunkins look very high quality well done 👌 what's the biggest Shubunkin you've currently got?
Ty... I appreciate that..
My wife did an excellent job.
The biggest is probably only about 9 inches not including the tail.
@@stubbsaquatics6080 That's a big one assuming there's more growing to do 🤘👌
No probably done growing..
@@stubbsaquatics6080 👌
I have watched Sandra's and Jackson's video, oh four or five, maybe six times. And gosh guy, this is one of the top videos out there. Just the research was enough to make it good. However, you people made it excellent. Thank you. Now a question; I have always looked at my shubunkins, and wondered what they really are, what type? They aren't Londons nor do they seem to be Bristols, although that is what I call them. Isn't there a third type?
Thanks so very much Roland for your very kind words and your support.
Those words mean the world to me.
Some of my other shubunkin videos might be helpful.
Bristol as you know have a rounded tail with a strong blue in their colouring where the London has more of a forked tail.
There is no official that I know of but over here in Canada most of our fish come from America as in the USA. They tend to have more of a sarasa tail which is much longer with a forked tail
My Shubunkin have very long tailed. I purchased some a long time ago and bred them.. I did not keep the parents and kept breeding them until I have more of the patterns and fins that I like. My last shubunkin video demonstrates that a bit more.
I hope that answered your questions.
If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.
Stubbs
Aka Chris
Jax is awesome 🤩 The dedication and love you put into breeding is very evident and truly respected! Thanks for all the great info Chris and I'm learning alot! Cheers brother 👍😁
Ty Sandor. Glad you liked it.. so when is this pond build... Can't wait.. 😉
@@stubbsaquatics6080 I have a preformed pond that I bought last fall. It's not very big but it will be nice to add a water feature alongside my palms and we'll probably be moving in the next couple years so I don't want to go crazy. Cheers
Preformed are ok..
Where you thinking of moving? What are you going to do with all your planted palms?
I hate moving.. that's why we are in same house for 35 years lol. .
We have only owned 2 houses.
Wow amazing video! So much info!!! And the cutest little intro from Jax ❤️ Sandra did an amazing job narrating!!!!
Ty.. and thanks so much for letting us keep my little helper for so long.. We had a lot of fun.
Sandra did do an amazing job
Hi do you guys in Canada get Bristol or London Shubunkins?
They are the show fish in the UK .
Hi there.. it's almost impossible to get bristol in Canada... we get more of what they call American shubunkin which have a tail more shaped like a comet ... but I breed for a longer fuller tail..
Them and Sarasa comets are my best fish breed
Thanks so very much.. I love sarasa comets.. I need to find a really nice one and cross with my shubunkin goldfish
Are they okay to be kept in a tank, and what size tank do you recommend if so ?
You can. I would recommend 90-100 gallons for good growth
Thanks for watching and commenting
What type plants can i use for these fishes in tank?
By the way these are also my favourite breed of fishes
Hi Azhar.. In my ponds I have iris and lilies but inside I would stick to pothos hanging out of the tank along with java Fern and anubius inside
Good info!!!
I got 8 in a 80 gls! That's ok!? Or i need a bigger tank?
Thanks for watching.
Depending on how much filtration you have and how big..
That's 10 gallons per fish.. so if it's really well filtered you should be ok just don't feed them more than once per day
👍
👍👍
👍👍👍
Thanks so much
What plant or vegetables do you recommend?
To grow ... From waist water or to feed them?
How do you keep your tank free from algae with having live plants? We do frequent changes and usually within a week or two it's all covered again 😵💫
Thanks for watching and commenting.
In this tank I don't really have any live plants.
I do in a lot of mine though.
I have two good filters that help with keeping the nutrients down.
I also have a nerite snail and two bristlenose plecos in there that really help.
How long do you keep your lights on?
How many watts?
How many live plants do you have? .
Lower the amount of light..
How manny Shubunkin i can put in a 75gls tank?
Hi there.
If you have good filtration. I think you can put 5-6 shubunkin goldfish in there. They will grow big in that.
1:23 top right corner is what color pattern & color of the Shubunkin ?. It´s pretty .
Good choice Karl.. I just bred him two days ago..
I am not sure there is a specific name for that.. it kinda has a becko pattern or a Shiro utsuri pattern if it was a koi but the red, or hi is spaced far apart.. so kinda like a sanke lol.. but I do like the look of it
I have bred my huge Shubunkin with my goldfish, they have turned out pink with black eyes or one black eye and one normal or bronze. They haven't coloured up yet so waiting to see how they all turn out.
Hi Jimmy
Thanks so very much for watching
It's pretty common to have two different eye colours
This video I recently did might help you out with how they might turn out
Be interested to see how they look
th-cam.com/video/Q8nr1B5EOsg/w-d-xo.html
Hey can I ask u a question I bought two of these fish for my outdoor pond really big pond and planted.. but there very scared and skittish is that normal for the first couple of days?
Hi Emer.
Thanks for watching.
Goldfish are a social fish. So in a large pond with just two they will hide until they feel more comfortable.
Start putting in a little bit of food in the same place. They will get accustomed to you being there and relate your presence to food. Are they the only fish in the pond? Sometimes a couple more fish of the same size will help them feel braver.
I hope that helps . I would love to see your pond and fish
Ok so I’ll buy more fish and hopefully that will make them more safe
What type of breed is the shubunkin?
It's a goldfish that came from crossing , common, comets and sarasa... Then bred for colours.... Hope that helps
