Add a peaceful splash of colour to your aquarium with the beautiful White Cloud Mountain Minnow! These small, hardy freshwater fish feature shimmering silver bodies, iridescent blue-green stripes, and colourful red-tipped fins. Their active schooling behaviour and attractive appearance make them a wonderful choice for planted aquariums, nano setups, and cooler-water freshwater tanks.
White Cloud Mountain Minnows are beginner-friendly fish known for their adaptability and peaceful temperament. They thrive in groups and look especially stunning swimming together among aquatic plants and natural decorations. Unlike many popular tropical fish, they prefer cooler water and generally do not require an aquarium heater in a suitable room-temperature environment.
