Albino Mountain Minnow
Description
The Albino Mountain Minnow, commonly known as the Albino White Cloud Mountain Minnow, is a small, active and peaceful freshwater schooling fish. Its pale golden-white body and bright coloration make it an attractive addition to community aquariums.
These hardy minnows are best kept in groups, where they display natural schooling behaviour and remain active throughout the aquarium. They are well suited to peaceful community setups with other similarly sized, non-aggressive fish.
