    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!

    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 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.

    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 have both colour variety of white clouds, and the older female golden white clouds have large black splotches across their backs.

    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.

    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.

    The more I see this tank I think you should try slowing down the air flow may look better. I find the bubbles keep drawing my eyes back to them rather than the little fish.

    • @FishShopMatt
      @FishShopMatt  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah I agree the pump goes through stages because it's a air ball with foam in it and it blocks up slowly and slows the flow.
