There fairly hardy, prefer temps on the lower side, eat like pigs and look great when you haave a whole bunch of them together. I have about 20 of these and they are no trouble.

I was going to breed them at one time but i never got round to it.
they are easy to sex as well, and breed.

sunniesunn they can go with almost any freshwater fish thats why they are kwl and they can go in cold water with goldfish but i dont like goldfish that musch tropical fish are soooo much better

 

[guppy_man]

im not saying i hate goldfish its just that tropical fish are more colourful and can get more species.
does anyone know how to boost the breeding process of these little cuties because these are my first mountain minnows ive ever had ive got 3 males and 3 female ive put some floating leaves that had fell off my java fern into the minnow tank and i have got 2 plastic plants in the gravel which they hide under do i have to do anything else to boost the process?

because i dont have a clue about the breeding of these minnows.

hope you can help

I have two white clouds that successfully moved from my old 5 gal. tank into the new 20 gal. I also have neon tetras, some greenlight tetras and a guppy. I had others, but have been having trouble controlling Nitrate levels (new tank, I added fish too quickly), so I lost a few.

I notice that over the course of a day or two, the white clouds will dramatically change colour, from pale almost transparent, to very dark, with markely noticeable red patches. Does anyone know what causes this? I have yet to really keep track, to see if it's light conditions, or something else.
