shubunkins have some scales that look different...the sequined appearance
thing. They are also mottled in grey/black/white/orange and have long,

and have longer, flowing tails but but I didn't notice the scale feature.
It could be less obvious because they are smaller, or does it develop as
the fish ages?? All my fish/aquarium reference materials are at work
(sigh)and I can't web browse on this ancient computer at home (or at least
80% of the time the silly thing freezes up if I try).
