Tanichthys albonubes "White Cloud Mountain Minnow"
The White Cloud Mountain Minnow is extinct in the wild but has been a popular aquarium fish for many years. It exists now only in fish farms and hobbyists' homes.
The wild type White Cloud is beige to light brown with a gold stripe that runs horizontally down the flank. The belly is dark and the fins are red. The fins may also be tipped in white. Unlike most other small aquarium fish, these fish actually thrive in cooler waters and are ideal for unheated community aquariums.
White Clouds are hardy fish, and can be used as "starter fish" for new aquariums. They are schooling fish that should be kept in groups. They are peaceful and can be kept with most other community species like danios, small tetras and rasboras. They are very active swimmers and are constantly on the move.
These fish can be fed most flake and small pelleted foods, and well as frozen brine shrimp and bloodworms as treats. White Clouds will generally occupy the upper portion of the water column, so a floating or slow-sinking food is a better choice than quick sinking varieties.
