Stunning in planted tanks
Peaceful community fish
White Cloud Mountain Minnows (Tanichthys albonubes) are hardy cool-water schooling fish with silver bodies and red fins. They are especially useful for aquariums kept cooler than typical tropical community tanks.
They do best in a proper group with open swimming space and stable, well-oxygenated water.
Care Notes
Keep them in cooler water than most tropical community fish and provide open swimming space.
Maintain a proper school of at least 8–10.
