Long Fin White Cloud Minnow
The Long fin white cloud is a great addition to any aquarium, planted or un-planted. The long fin has the same appearance as the regular white cloud except that the adults fins are elongated. This difference makes them appear flashier and more desirable to hobbyists. The long fin white cloud has great color contrast displaying white to gold coloration with red coloration on its fins and tail. The color stands out even more than the regular white cloud. They show schooling behavior in small groups, this behavior is very evident in larger groups of 10 or more.

The Long Fin White Cloud Minnows are vibrant and active. They form a nice school and add a lot of visual interest to my 10-gallon tank. The red fins stand out well against the white body. Easy to care for and have been thriving for over three months.

I bought a small group of these fish and they immediately started schooling. The coloration is brighter than expected. They seem healthy and active, though I do need to monitor water temperature closely.

Great addition to my planted tank. The long fins make them look elegant. They don’t stress other fish and stay calm even during water changes. I’ve kept them for six weeks and they’re still lively and colorful.
