goldenswimmers Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Some more examples of rare and hard to find goldfish...Englands very own Bristol Shubunkin.... This fish was created in the UK and is distinct in the tail shape it has as compared to your standard shubunkin.A simliar fish is available in Japan but it has a round tail(similar to the tail of a betta)instead of the two lobes as seen here on the bristol shubunkin So here it is... the Bristol Shubunkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadFishFloating Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 They are also a good solid shaped fish, as opposed to the sleek jap and chinese ones. I think we had an importation of them in 2006? Around the time when the UK got some of our tandanus tandanus which to them was a "rare catfish" worth a lotta $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isubya Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Sorry to dig up an old post... I was visiting a few aquariums today and found a few of these (actually a tank full) in Exotic fish connections in Rocklea... The quality and size was amazing but it was a bit pricey.. $89 to $120 depending on the colour.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
