These are fun and very easy to breed. They thrive and breed well when they are exposed to temperature differences. When i kept these i moved them to a small balcony pond in spring and moved them back in halfway autumn. They can be kept outside until 5 degrees celsius. I had large gravel on the bottom of the pond where the eggs fall between and can hatch. The adults rarely hunt their own fry i found. Every year they would spawn in the pond and my population would grow with about 20 to 40 young minnows. I love these guys, they are such an active fish!
You remind me of Jamie Oliver for some reason. Lol. Love your enthusiasm for these fish - I got some for a 20 litre fish bowl I was given because I didn't want to heat it. I wasn't that excited about these fish until I got them. They are great little things and I really enjoy them a lot more than I thought!
White clouds are so underrated! I just got a shipment of long fin white clouds after being on several wish lists. They are gorgeous and incredibly hardy. I keep them in community tanks and they get along with a large variety of fish. Great video☺
Had them when I was 8, now I am 58 still keep them, my favorite of all fish. Last summer kept them outside in a Aquarium in the garden, now inside in small tank for the winter.
I have 7 golden white cloud mountain minnows sharing a 110lt aquarium with chili and exclamation point rasboras, pygmy corydoras, some shrimp, and a mélange of snails. Unheated, heavily planted, and all is good. Thanks for the video Matt. 👍
These are the best fish ever. I love mine so much. They love low light, cold water and are not fussy eaters. They have a better orange stripe than any glow light tetra, they are absolutely beautiful.
Added a few of these to my 20 gallon long heavily planted blue dream shrimp tank. Wonderful additions! Great activity, nice pop of color and seem to compliment the shrimp well.
Easy conversion Matt, if its 22 centigrade, double it and add 30 = 74 and that will be close enough, if you start with Fahrenheit take off 30 then divide by 2, another great video and we are looking at setting up a cold tank and these will be in it.
Hey Matt! I'm in Western Canada. White Cloud minnows are illegal to keep in most or all Provinces because they can survive our extreme seasonal weather. Aquarium Co-op has got a new recipe for feeding very small fish. I don't usually mention other businesses but the need for this outweighs my reluctant feelings.I love your show! I'm currently hoping to bring a tank on with crystal Shrimp and small minnows, we will see!
I have a few of the Golden/Yellow version of these fish, and I love them !!! My tank is unheated, and they don't seem bothered by it at all, and, in the winter, I set my room thermostat to 22, so that the room never goes below that. And thank you Matt for also giving me some ideas of what type of fish could be added in with them too
I love my white clouds! I got them with some paleatus cories for a colder water tank and breeding project! I thought it was going to be super hard to get them to breed, but after some makeshift tools, i have 23 free swimming babies on my first go! Im excited!!
Love these fish! They were the first I kept in the hobby starting out as a 10 year old getting my first tank for my birthday and 20 years later I still have a group of them along with some of the goldies! Love your stuff Matt- keep it up 👍🏻
I have been loving your videos lately Matt, one of my favorite channels to watch! I was considering getting these guys for a future project because I’ve never owned them before ❤
I love my white clouds. The males are a little territorial if they decide to pick a little spot in the aquarium, but they’re an inch big they can’t do too much damage to each other lol
yeah true, sometimes they change the spot, so no one allowed here now, attack everything that moves a bit faster than usual, even shrimp, no harm though
My very first fish were mosquito minnows from the canal at the end of my road. And a few sail-fin Mollies from the same canal. My first aquatic plants were alligator weed, "Alternanthera philoxeroides" from the same canal!
I recently started keeping these, I have them in a community with some galaxy rasbora and pygmy cories and they're really fun to watch. They're always busy and they're a great dither fish to bring the more timid fish out. I keep them with a heater at 23°C and they seem quite happy and healthy. I wouldn't want to keep them at the extremely low temps, but they're such hardy little guys I doubt they'd be bothered by higher temps. Lovely fish. Great to watch. They're really growing on me.
Hi Matt! Great fish profile Would be amazing to have a video on cold water fish options by size 🤩if that inspires you one of these days Have a fab Friday and weekend!
I've only been in the hobby for under a year, and my first fish have been various mollies. Has gone very well! Interested in these minnows so I can ditch a heater need in my next tank. TY for the info!
Speaking of endangered species..... Sharkminnows. Especially Red-Tailed Black sharks and a lot of similar species. I'd love to see this video for them. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL fish. Also.... You can absolutely keep barbs, white clouds, etc. with them.
I love my white clouds and they've been a constant in at least 1 tank since 2017. I've had a terrible time finding them in my area though when I've tried to restock.
I have had these for 5+ years with some Borneo Loaches in a medium flow tank (90 litres) & they are so underrated. Must be on the 5th generation by now with around 40. Looking to upgrade their tank to a 200-250 litre tank next year next to my 600 litre tetra tank. I find 18-20 degrees is the sweet spot for them.
Depends on the barb to be honest. You cannot paint them all with the same brush. It's like saying you can't keep dogs with cats, sometimes yes and sometimes no.
They have been one of my favourite fish for a long time. Have them in a planted tank with cherry shrimp and are doing great. Even had a few babies who survived to become adults.
Your channel is really coming into its own. Great stuff man. These fish profiles from such an experienced fish keeper are awesome. I’d love to see profiles on paradise fish, honey gourami, cherry barbs, medaka rice fish-if you were looking for suggestions 😅 nice work!
Like the idea of these! But also chilli raspora’s. I have swordfish, guppies, Corydoras and pair dwarf gourami and Amano shrimp possibly (not seen for a couple of weeks)
Im from Malaysia, ive had them for 2 years now and the tank is right by the window and gets a blast of sun around 3 - 4pm. Average temperature is around 24-27 but they seem healthy, big, really bright coloured
I have a nano tank with 24k white gold mountain minnows they make me so happy! The colors are amazing and they are a sweet fish that hangs out with my shrimp.
Another great fish choice 👌 can you do a fish file on siamese flying fox please? Notably how to choose the right one, as apparently they vary under the same name 😊
I don't know what sound you are using around the 11 minute mark, but my dog found the squeaky bits INCREDIBLY upsetting 😂 wasn't sure we were going to get through the rest of the video
I am in south Louisiana USA and I tried the golden variety in a small outside pond and they did not make it through the winter. I read that the normal colored ones are hardier. They did look great all summer in the sunlight and turned a lovely orange/red color! I would love to find some normal colored ones to try.
Kept both the standard (aka poor man's tetra) and the golden variation on and off for years. Currently got 10 golden wcmm in heavily planted 4ft low boy with a paradise fish, gang of pygmy corys, 3 rainbow shiners, gang of peppered corys, gang of kuhli, gang of ottos, 17 cpd, 10 green kubotai, hundreds of neocaridina and a gang of amano.
Great video as always. Currently have a small group of CPDs, who are bold as brass! 😂 but two emerald dwarf rasbora as they were in the same tank at the shop and looked kinda lonely…. But those guys hide all the time, even thought one had died I didn’t see it for so long. Should I get a couple more to make them happier and more confident? My tank isn’t huge, but is heavily planted for its size and lots of rocks and wood to hide behind too. Would love your advice, pretty please 🥺 Also… since watching you I’m planning on getting a larger tank … I only had shrimp to begin with, and your videos convinced me to get the cpds… now I want more 😂
I have a cold water tank with white clouds, zebra & leopard danios and a few rosy barbs. Tanks been running nearly 3 years here in NSW Australia. I have a couple that have turned black, I’m thinking it’s their age. (I have lost a few barbs over the past few months too)Parameters are all good. Just coming out of winter where the coldest we would have inside is probably about 12 degrees (c). Have you ever had any turn black? ❤️🇦🇺
I got a mix of normal and long finned almost 4 years ago. My last long finned died 2 nights ago when his tumour burst. ( had it for 6 months)) 😢 Now I just have my normals and 1 gold tipped I bred. I heat them in winter at 18 to 20 as we have no heating in the house.
Long fins are my favourite fish. But they are all excellent the gold ones do eat their young , but my ones seam to,ignore the fry it’s work mentioning how bright. The babies are the+poor man’s neon. So please give us more
Are any of the other " sister species" of white clouds available or going to be available @ all ,matt? White clouds do great with musk turtles like Timmy! Because rainbow shiners are expensive 😅😅😅 You should gat a normal color dojo loach for this tank!
Mr Matt, can you explain to me why goldfish are bad? I’ve had them in the past and never had a problem with them before. My oldest goldfish was 5 years old and all of them were able to learn tricks like kiss your finger and fetch. I used a tiny floating ball and they would wiggle swim to bring it back. That one took a long time to learn but they learned it! Or at least learned the reaction I was looking for lol. They do poop a lot but I just cleaned their tanks out once a month but they were so calming and funny to watch
They get huge and make a ton of waste. They're often in bad shape since they're a common "feeder fish". Most first timers aren't looking for a fish that could get 8"-10".
They aren't necessarily bad, but are bad when they are portrayed as a starter fish. Loads of people enter the hobby and get a goldfish in a small tank. Then they have nothing but issues and then give up on the hobby thinking it's hard work. Where as if they started with a small tank and minnows I expect a lot of people would find it easier and stay in the hobby for longer.
@@FishShopMatt thanks!! I guess I always felt guilty and would put 5 goldfish in a 20 gallon tank so they had friends and lots of space to swim in. Lol
Love these fish! But my recent experience with them is not so good 😅 chasing each other out of the tank, getting caught in the filter, etc. my remaining 3 minnows have now spawned and the tank is FULL of fry
@@FishShopMatt I’ve had no issues in the past. Maybe I got some bad apples lol. They’ve mellowed out now that they’ve spawned. Fry are free swimming and getting bigger by the day! Cheers bud! Keep up the content 👌
I envy people with 20°C and below... My room is about 22°C min and goes up in the summer to 28-30°C ... lol goin for 2 Honey Gouramies and a school of neongreen Kubotai ... fingers crossed they will like it 😄Oh and have already green Babaulti and Malawa shrimps.

We have some in a tank with black mollies, an angel fish, and two peacock eels. The minnows stand out so well with the darker fish.
Beautiful both sound lovely!
These are the best fish ever. I love mine so much. They love low light, cold water and are not fussy eaters. They have a better orange stripe than any glow light tetra, they are absolutely beautiful.
Totally agree!
The best! We overwintered our white clouds outside below freezing in New York. worked well with a small de-icer to allow air exchange… Amaaazin
Added a few of these to my 20 gallon long heavily planted blue dream shrimp tank. Wonderful additions! Great activity, nice pop of color and seem to compliment the shrimp well.

Good tip!
My daughter loves her little minnows! Great to learn more about them - especially the ‘random’ info 😊
White cloud mountain minnows were the 1st fish i put into my tank in the mancave. No heater and they were very happy indeed.
Hey Matt! Can we have a review of rice fish as well! Im super interested and love this format of getting details!
Sure thing!
I just bought 5 this morning!
Good luck!
Great choice!
Hey Matt! I'm in Western Canada. White Cloud minnows are illegal to keep in most or all Provinces because they can survive our extreme seasonal weather.
Aquarium Co-op has got a new recipe for feeding very small fish. I don't usually mention other businesses but the need for this outweighs my reluctant feelings.I love your show! I'm currently hoping to bring a tank on with crystal Shrimp and small minnows, we will see!
They are amazing! Please do the Paradise Fish next time
I just recognized you from MDs videos, I loved the tank designs you did in your Maidenhead aquatics, very talented.
A group of white clouds in an outdoor pond... beautiful!
I had a pair of Golden white cloud minnows in a large fish bowl for years and years! Absolutely loved them.
I haven't had these for over 10 years, now I want more 😅
I found them to be great at controlling snails . They gobble up the young seed snails but are harmless to the adults.
I fell in love with these guys when i got some to put in my Endler tank,
I have been keeping them ever since, that was about 7 years ago now❤

I am tempted to get some of the yellow but I've only seen chunky ones double the size of the standard ones I have.
@@FishShopMatt Oh I didn't know that there were bigger ones. Mine are tiny (about 1.5 inches max) 🤗

You should!
I've got Rainbow Shiner Fish in my cold water tank... Great video Matt... I'll keep my eyes open for some of these... 😎🤙

Hi Matt! Great fish profile
Would be amazing to have a video on cold water fish options by size 🤩if that inspires you one of these days

Sounds good! I've been thinking of something like this so leave it with me
I'm just starting out with 3 of the white cloud and a snail and I'd be very interested in this! @@FishShopMatt
My lfs has a whole bunch, and I look at them every time I go in. I also have an empty tank. You're twisting my arm pretty hard 😂

Oooo interesting. I have heard from a few people that there are a few poorly bred lines of cpds out there so maybe worth shopping around
Cool fish! Love’em!
The Vietnamese White cloud is another option. The older males have longer fins that look great when they're flaring at each other.
Much nicer fish
Beautiful fish and also thought to be the first fish in the evolutionary chain of this family group
Quite difficult to get ahold of these.
