Did You Know...
White Cloud Mountain Minnows are a schooling fish and need to be in a shoal of at least 8-10 to thrive?
(Seriously Fish)

The number is 5, not 8-10. I never look at Seriously Fishy. Too much negative press. The WCs were my first fish in 7/21. 5 for $5 at Petco. One died. Two vanished a few days later, probably died during the night & were eaten by their loving tank mates.

I know it's pretty crazy!
Also I think I already posted how surprised I was by how engaging they are...just a joy

The Seriously Fish numbers agree with many other similar sites.
That said, if you look hard enough, I'm sure there'll be some somewhere that say that 2 or 3 are plenty.
