overview
  
The White Cloud Mountain Minnow (Tanichthys albonubes) is sometimes called a Golden White Cloud. It belongs to the family named Cyprinidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 2.0 inches in length, the White Cloud Mountain Minnow is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is good and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Tanichthys albonubes should not be housed in a tank less than 10 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 6.5 - 7.5, temperature between 64 - 72 degrees fahrenheit, Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include keep 3 or more.
