Overview

White Cloud Mountain Minnows are lively, slender fish with a bright side stripe and flashes of red in the fins. They suit a cooler indoor aquarium rather than a permanently hot tropical setup.

English name White Cloud Mountain Minnow
Latin name Tanichthys albonubes
Origin Southern China
Adult size 4 cm
Typical lifespan 4-6 years
Temperament Generally peaceful with appropriate companions
Tank level Middle and upper
Social needs Keep at least 8-10 together.

Tank Setup

Aquarium size At least 60 litres with a 60 × 30 cm base for a shoal.
Temperature 16-22°C; avoid prolonged tropical heat
pH 6.5-8.0
Hardness 5-20 dGH
Water type Freshwater

Provide plants, open swimming space and good oxygenation. A heater may be unnecessary in a suitably stable room, but check temperatures throughout the year.

Behaviour & Compatibility

Peaceful with other small fish sharing cooler conditions. Avoid mixing with goldfish large enough to eat them.

Diet & Feeding

Feed small flakes, microgranules and occasional daphnia or brine shrimp.

Routine Care

Use a fully cycled aquarium before adding livestock. Check temperature, appetite and behaviour daily. Test water regularly: ammonia and nitrite must remain at zero. Make regular partial water changes with conditioned water matched to the aquarium's temperature and chemistry. Keep nitrate low and rinse biological filter media in removed aquarium water.

Click & Collect Only

You can order online for Click & Collect. We will confirm when your livestock is ready to collect from Newlands Home and Garden Centre, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. We do not deliver live fish or aquatic invertebrates. Please have a suitable, fully prepared aquarium ready before collection.
