[edit] Merge with Calico (fish)?

All of the content on the Calico (fish) page is redundant to the Shubunkin page. It is basically just a copy and paste of information found on another website (as I understand it), and serves no purpose other than to confuse and distract from the Shubunkin page. It should be merged.

Oppose. Shubunkin and Calico are not the same. All Shubunkin goldfish are Calico, but some Calico are other breeds of goldfish too. Calico refers to a particular pattern of color and scales (or lack of) that can happen to a couple of breeds of goldfish. --Melanochromis 15:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Oppose. I agree with the above comment. Calico just refers to the color, while shubunkins have a specific body type and other variety characteristics. For example, a shubunkin is not at all the same kind of fish as a calico fantail. Oniongirl 20:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

2 opposes. Merging suggestion has been removed. --Melanochromis 09:13, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
