Five shubunkins swimming in a school

[MajorDan]

Finally got fish today was going to get three but there was a good deal for five. So they got their acclimation hour and they are now swimming around together.

Glare makes it hard to get a photo but they are all so pretty!

 

[MajorDan]

Ok this is the last one. So proud of these little guys.

Fish just do not pose like puppies.

They're so lovely MajorDan! Congratulations!

That is awesome. Is there some blue in some of those? What is the pattern on your liner? Hard to tell but it looks cool!

 

[MajorDan]

The pattern on my liner is the larva casings from some bug. There is a worm like creature inside and my new shubunkins are dining on them without stop. The casing is like dirt so I guess when the worms are all eaten or hatch into some kind of midge, the neat pattern will slowly wear away.

 

[MajorDan]

No true blue that I could see but a translucent white that had a blueish cast. I assume they will all change colors as they mature.

I am ready for them to get jiggy and deliver some babies. I realize they are still small but you never know with fish.

Going to start making green spawning mop things tomorrow so I will be ready.

Well, then you're not training them right! Better step up the routine!

Well then somebody at the epdm plant better get busy and whip it out as a pattern liner. That’s just pretty damn cool.

I agree it really looks neat once you quit worrying about what it is.

Those are some very pretty Shubbies and good that you only got those as they will make many more pretty ones w/very cool colored patterns but have patience grandpa cuz this will take awhile
