Shubunkins with barbels
Hi,
I just got some four-inch long shubunkins from our local fish shop. They all have quite long barbels. The shubunkins I have had in the past had no barbels. Is there a type of shubunkin that has barbels or might these be koi? Thanks |

They sound like koi to me. You might have gotten a deal on them if the
store thought they were goldfish. |

I'll add my vote to the koi tally. -- __ Elaine T __ __' http://eethomp.com/fish.html '__ rec.aquaria.* FAQ http://faq.thekrib.com |

You don't have Shubunkins, you have probably culled KOI. Goldfish is my preference and I don't know all the KOI varieties, but that is what you got.
