Very similar to the comet goldfish is the Shubunkin goldfish. They have the same long body as a comet, but their fins are longer and display a calico coloration with a mix of black, red, white, and blue pigments. This breed can also be kept in an outside pond as well as inside an aquarium that’s at least 50 gallons. This color pattern can be mixed with one of the fancy body-type goldfish to create a unique presentation.
