"I’m never disappointed with fish ordered from GlassGrown, and these little beauties are no exception. They arrived quickly, well-packed and insulated, and are now very happily settled into their new home. They’re all healthy with good coloration, and I’m incredibly happy with them." -Megan |
Considered an excellent Nano fish, this variant of Tanichthys Albonubes "Gold" (White Cloud Mountain Minnows) is hardy and dependable. Just an excellent all- round beginner fish for an active, community aquarium.
This species has origins in South Chinese rivers, but were long considered extinct in their natural habitat, due to development. They have been re-discovered, but are still listed as endangered. Almost all White Cloud Minnows available within the fish trade are captive-bred.
These display the best coloring and behavior while in groups of 6+, and prefer cooler tank water. Excellent for unheated smaller fish tanks!
They are peaceful and absolutely love live food such as brine shrimp, Artemia, and other micro fauna. While omnivorous, be sure to feed them a higher protein diet with a bit of vegetable flake here and there.
Your minnows will be young, and between 1/2" to 1" long.
