Albino Mountain Minnow

The Albino Mountain Minnow are also referred to as “the working man’s neon,” “white clouds,” “Cantonal danio,” “White Cloud Mountain,” and “Chinese danio.” Freshwater cyprinid fish called the white cloud is a favorite among novices. You may call them by the pet names of your choice if you had them as a pet.

Albino Mountain Minnow  – Tanichthys albonubes were first discovered on White Cloud Mountain in southern China, hence its common name.

This 4-centimeter (1.5-inch) minnow has crimson fins and a darker body with a white horizontal stripe. In the wild, it consumes plankton and insect larvae in slowly moving streams that are overgrown with aquatic vegetation.

The white clouds available in stores are all produced in captivity because the species is endangered in the wild.

These fish also frequently breed with one another. Their most vivid hues are visible on their fins. Their almost triangular dorsal and ventral fins point backward.

Some males even have a sizable part of one of their fins chewed off. Fighting that takes place in the water body may be the cause of this.

Their eyes range in hue from green to olive-brown, and they are roughly 1-1.5 inches long.
