Shubunkins, sharing similarities with common goldfish and comet goldfish, originated in Japan around 1900 through the interbreeding of calico telescope eye goldfish (Demekins), comet goldfish, and common goldfish. These lively fish boast streamlined bodies adorned with distinctive nacreous scales, displaying patches of red, white, blue, grey, and black, extending gracefully to their fins. The most sought-after color among Shubunkins is blue, and superior blues are achieved through careful line breeding.
