    These are fantastic fish! I currently have 6 that I had outside this summer and they did great out there. As far as temperature goes, I did not get them out of my patio pond until October and when I did the water temp was 57 degrees! I slowly let the bucket that I brought them into the house warm to room temperature and they did fine. I have not got them to breed yet, however. Mine are in a 20 gallon with 6 brilliant rasboras, a paradise fish, a cory cat and a bristlenose pleco and lots of floating hornwort.

    Here in the UK I left a pair of Mt. Minnows out in my outdoor small pond (actually in an unheated garden room, top half is glass) for a test to see if they would survive. Even after there was ice on the surface for a few days, I see they are still alive. I hope they will breed during the summer. I also will put some more Rice Fish in with them as the one I tested this winter is also alive. The large lily keeps the water in good condition along with the Elodia. Always good to hear of others' experiences.

    I got a group of 20 for my new 28 gallon aquarium, and I have to admit I'm smitten. They don't school as tightly as in your video, but perhaps that's just because they have more space - because they definitely use all the space available all the time.

    I had one in with Tetras and Endlers and it was very territorial, moved him on and my other fish are a lot happier now. It was kinda agressive.

    Have a group of golden white clouds in a 10gal :)
    update on vitamin c binding minerals: I have found that it binds with the chloramine very quickly, with a table spoon per gallon my tds went from 420ppm to 630ppm in the first 24hrs, then dropped down to 390ppm over a 4 day period. So it does seem to be doing something (or the dissolved solids would have settled out regardless) I didn't do a constant :/ more testing will happen over the year. I will email you instead, just didnt want to log in while on work computer and dont want to type on my phone. Enjoy your friday guys!

    Hello. Great Video. I read an article that these White clouds have a pretty good appetite that it needs to be fed everyday….is that correct? I normally feed my fish every other day..like the tetras and endlers.

    I have a school of white cloud minnows and one of the fish keeps flaring and chasing the other fish, I’m a little worried. Is there something I can do? There are 6 in a 50 gallon, empty tank. I’m getting 8 more. Also the fish that’s keeps flaring seems like a male, I’ve tried sexing them and there seem to be 2 males to 4 females. It only seems like the smaller male that’s doing this, he also flares at his reflection. Is he trying to impress the females? All water parameters are good for them.

      That can happen. They usually don't harm one another. Adding more more certainly help.

    Great video Jason! I have 6 white clouds, but they seem to chase each other a LOT - especially during meal times and, actually, just generally. No harm is done, no ripped fins or anything, but mine just seem more aggressive than usual? I have them in a 22G long (36x12x12) with plants and a big piece of drift wood, so lots of space. But maybe i need to give them more hiding spaces? Just wondering if you’ve experienced the crazy chasing. I do observe that your’s are much “thicker” than mine..maybe im not feeding enuf O_o They do hang around the corys to eat their wafers even after they are full, its a bit aggressive 🤔
