White Cloud Mountain Minnow Fish Species Profile
The white cloud minnow is a small, hardy schooling fish known for its vibrant, shimmering bronze or gold body with a distinctive white stripe and red-tipped fins. Native to the mountainous regions of China, these temperate fish are adaptable, peaceful, and suitable for beginners, thriving in groups in planted tanks with cooler water temperatures. They typically grow to about 1.5 inches and accept a varied diet of flakes, micro-pellets, and live or frozen foods.
Physical Description

  • Size:Adults typically reach about 1.5 inches (around 4 cm) in length.
  • Body:The body is torpedo-shaped with a shimmering bronze or gold coloration.
  • Stripe:A prominent iridescent white or pink stripe runs horizontally along the side of the body.
  • Fins:The dorsal, anal, and tail fins are red, often with white edges, providing a striking contrast.
  • Varieties:Besides the standard bronze/gold varieties, there are also golden and long-finned morphs available.
Behavior & Habitat

  • Temperament:White cloud minnows are very peaceful and are excellent for community tanks with similarly sized, peaceful fish.
  • Social Nature:They are schooling fish and are more active and interesting when kept in groups of six or more.
  • Environment:They prefer planted aquariums with hiding spots and open swimming areas but are adaptable to unplanted tanks as well.
  • Water Conditions:As temperate fish, they thrive in cooler water temperatures, though they can tolerate warmer conditions with good water quality.
Care Requirements

  • Diet:They are opportunistic omnivores, readily accepting high-quality flake foods, micro-pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods like brine shrimp.
  • Tank Setup:A tank of at least 10-15 gallons is recommended for a small school.
  • Hardiness:They are known for being hardy and forgiving, making them a great choice for beginner aquarists.
