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

  • 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.
