White Cloud Mountain Minnow (Tanichthys albonubes)
The White Cloud Mountain Minnow is a hardy, peaceful fish ideal for both beginners and experienced aquarists. With a sleek silver-gold body, iridescent sheen, and red-tipped fins, these little fish add subtle beauty and constant activity to any aquarium. Native to the cool streams of China, they thrive in lower temperatures and are a great choice for unheated tanks. Their peaceful nature and small size make them perfect for nano and community aquariums alike. Best kept in schools, they display more vibrant colors and engaging group behavior when kept in larger numbers.
