Goldfish v Goldfish?

Size makes a big difference, I have babies up to a year old together of all
kinds of GF, but once the single tails get bigger then the fancy GF then
they need to be single out. Shubunkins are a little bit rougher then the
fancy goldfish which are more delicate . Don't mix them in a pond, if the
shubunkins try to breed the others will be injured. put the fancy ones in a
shallower pond, and yes bring them in , they are tropical. Now having said
that I breed long fin shubunkins, and they are more delicate then the
regular ones, but again in the size the fancy ones just get banged around,
the shubunkins can get a lot bigger.
