All About White Cloud Minnows: Little Golden Beauties!

[@KFrost-fx7dt]

After college I lost my apartment and had to give my fish away. No one wanted my two white clouds so they went to my grandma who had a fancy goldfish names Cupcake. They got along fine until the ends of their lives. I think Cupcake enjoyed the company.

Grandmas always come thru

[@shanabrosius4735]

I bet Cupcake did.

[@bjjbrawler1]

Golden Retriever of fish! I just bought 5 of them and they are already schooling with my Brilliant Rasbora, like they are siblings

[@tinymenagerie]

Wow I bet they look fantastic together - i might have to try that.

[@christinecho779]

Your channel is my favorite fishtuber channel!!

[@grayaquatics852]

I have had 20+ Golds in my 33 long now for a year and they are amazing!

[@ngarci8040]

One of my favorite White cloud videos to date…!

[@cottoncandyaddict]

I have a tank with golden white clouds, beckford’s pencilfish, and bronze corys. That tank is in my kitchen and I love those darn fish so much and spend so much time with them! Both pencilfish and white clouds are curious and inquisitive fish, but pencilfish seem to be more intelligent in that way. I have 8 of each and would love to have much bigger schools but my tank can’t accommodate more than what I already have, so it’s something to look forward to in the future when I get a larger tank

[@angiejoy3802]

Your videos are such a pleasure to watch and listen to

[@marvideladiv3983]

Beautiful White Cloud Mountain Minnows Aquarium. Thanks for the video

[@2cents177]

Mine got sparkling strip on back, looks great

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Always been my favourite fish. The gold ones anyway. I had 300 in a 6ft x 16in x 16in planted aquarium once. Was my dream tank.

[@Macready9]

Thank you 🐠

[@IMaqua]

They are beauties but mine are silver. Beautiful fish.

[@rulkavian3225]

This wonderful video finally encouraged me to make the decision to take care of a dozen of these golden beauties. I have them alone in a 200 liter mini patio pond, well insulated even though it is a Mediterranean climate, with many plants (including floating ones) and a slight current to simulate a river. They are my first fish and I want them to be as good as possible. Thank you very much for your inspiration!

[@Tim_3100]

Mine come together at feeding time I have 12 of them in my tank and love watching them chase each other around 🤣 they leave my shrimp alone too even though they were interested by them at first

[@apss5736]

you deserve way more subs

[@vijayrupnath1744]

By far the most pleasing voice and style of presentation for Aquariums on KZbin! I've become an instant fan and subscriber 👍🏽❤️😇 Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏽😇

[@mondraymondo]

saw these actually when I visit Singapore botanical garden and I was wondering if they were pencil fish.. turns out its these guys!! so now i know tropical condition works for them too

[@bryanjames5256]

Gonna have these guys in a planted community tank with Buenos Aires Tetras, and Pygmy Corydoras. They seemed like perfect entries into a nanoish tank.

[@118Combination]

I really appreciate the thoroughness of this. Love your channel! Keep it up!

[@davidparker4028]

A truley beautiful and stunning little fish👍. I have a mix of normal and golden white clouds in species only tank. One of my favourite tanks. Thanks for doing a video on them well done👍🙂.

[@KFrost-fx7dt]

I like the darker ones but the golden ones are pretty too. If I get some I will get a mix of both.

[@RichardHaywardMelbourne]

Really informative with unique insights based on your own experience. It's very helpful and paints a picture of what it's like to keep these fish. Loved the music at the end.

[@johnjwedrall4290]

Very helpful information. Nice looking tank 👍

[@jasonpeculiar]

Another beautiful video. Thanks, Lauren

[@johnjwedrall4290]

I'm liking White Cloud too. Nice video. Informative. Found your channel today and subscribed 👍

[@chrispeters2645]

Hi Lauren, another excellent video, featuring another of my favourite species, one which I in fact currently keep. I was able to acquire a dozen of the longfin 'natural' white clouds in May last year, and I absolutely love them. Not only do they have beautiful colouration and finnage, but as you mention they exhibit just the right level of confident activity, and other than the occasional 'flaring' session between males, they are completely peaceful. In December, I noticed a single fry among the trailing roots of the water lettuce in the tank, which has since grown big enough to join the adults. Sadly, I haven't seen any additional fry, but I'm hoping that over these cooler months (I keep them in a temperate tank) more might appear. Anyhoo, in case there's not another video beforehand, I'll wish you a Merry Christmas now ❄⛄🎅👼.

[@tinymenagerie]

Hey Chris, that's great that a fry survived, my white clouds usually live in a tank with barbs these day so I never get any free fish off them! I am hoping to get another video out before Christmas but it all depends on work so we will see, might have to be a short one :D ! Wishing you a Merry Christmas too :)

[@barbarawilson834]

Wonderful video!!

[@jmdq1]

Yes they are that endearing to keep ! My 6 live in a 36 gallon bow front along with 6 dwarf neon rainbows. The rainbows have very small mouths and even when full grown they are only. 2 1/2 “ (Praecox Neon Rainbows )

[@lukeadams6757]

Great shots and narration

[@anotherthez7598]

I believe they are healthier and live much longer when kept at 18/20 celcius.

[@adamdahlberg4403]

My favorite, great info.

[@Teabone3]

Finding it hard to feed the 6 minnows I have. They spit out flakes. Even if i crunch them small.

[@chillingoutdoors5758]

I keep bristlenose zebra danios and guppies platy n molly's with them no issues have lots of plants

[@johncameron4194]

Love them

[@9catlover]

Thank you. i just bought 2 for my shrimp tank

[@somdov]

What a great video

[@tombartram7384]

Great vid, thanks! I've just bought ten and they're still approx 15mm long. How long before they start breeding?

[@whitecloudmountainminnowpr6353]

Great video. I'm breeding my own strain of the longfin version. Both Standard colour and golden

[@aephspore3341]

A QUESTION, I know that regular white cloud minnows are from China and can be found there in their natural habitat, but what about gold white clouds? Are they GMO fish or idk a mans experiment with fish since they have a golden color

[@janicehui7149]

Currently, my community tank is home to celestial pearl danios, ember tetras, pygmy corys, otos, and fire red cherry shrimp. Safe to say that we share a similar preference in our fish! I am considering some Daisy's rice fish for my other tank (currently only housing some sunkist cherry shrimp). Would love an ' all about' for rice fish if you have any experience with them! :)

[@marieleach9008]

Hi Lauren, can white minows be in an unheated tank? Im looking at making a cold water tank as my next project. Do you have a video on that? I can't seem to find one... thank you 🙂

[@gayefanner731]

The golden WCMMs have BLUE EYES ! Why didn’t you say?! I was given one yesterday to join my silver ones for company and now I have to go n get some more blue eyes, they’re irresistible!! 🙏✝️✌️

[@TheRugghead]

when do the fry turn gold? do the fry revert back to dark?

[@imluis9424]

Very informative🙂

[@TwinCitiesOxygen]

Are you sure the gold fish won’t eat them?

[@anthonytran5692]

you should a video about Elassoma Gilberti or the pygmy sunfish

[@tinymenagerie]

If only! I’ve never even seen sunfish for sale in the uk 😢!

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

Can i keep these in a tank with temps between 14-18c

[@lpoolck17]

Do they like to eat live daphnia?

[@83Goldy]

Nice! How many I can keep in a 3 gallon tank?

[@Tim_3100]

None it's too small like Lauren says they are schooling fish and like to be kept together and minnow need minimum of 10-15 gallon

[@Only1TeamInDevon]

i got 40 of them 34 of them are babys that are big enough to survive

[@mand20001]

I had these fish with gold fish as the pet shop said they were fine but the white clouds kept disappearing im sure the gold fish was eating them

[@brandonlasvegas]

🙏😎🐟

[@spadhnik]

I only have 2 of these and one keeps attacking other. So the other one is always in hiding :(

[@gayefanner731]

Get more? What did you do? ✌️

[@mark8744]

Your temperature is too high for matching natural environment for WCMM 🤔

[@prolaysantra27]

In India neon tetras cost less than minnows

[@dyeslsl]

Should've titled Golden White Cloud Mountain Minnow

[@Marioscorneraquatics]

I set up a new planted tank with tetras, rasboras, Cory’s and these little beauties. They always hang out at the top of the tank I always come home And think they’re dead. Nope they just love the top of the tank.

[@RLCAquatics]

Great video!
