Diet

For their diet, Shubunkin goldfish are omnivores. They are not picky eaters and will readily accept a varied diet. Feed them a high-quality sinking pellet or flake food designed for goldfish as a staple. To ensure they get all the necessary nutrients, supplement their diet with a mix of fresh vegetables like blanched spinach or peas, as well as meaty foods like bloodworms or brine shrimp. A balanced diet will help them maintain their brilliant coloration and overall health.
