I adore white clouds, and I have ones with medium long fin age, and I love them. I've seen males spar, and it's fantastic 💕 hoping for babies some time
With the ease of breeding these why are there no programs to reintroduce them into their old habitat?
It's been largely destroyed
Rachel O'Leary ...I love your sciencey, geek stuff. Please be yourself and share away. Your excitement makes your vlogs that much better. Please include fish you may not have yourself, maybe some friends fish.
You're awesome! Thanks for the education
The ethics involved and how fun it can be! I love how you put those two subjects in one sentence. Lol
Definitely more videos like this. Only so many times a channel can show their tanks.
I agree with the balloon lines. I know that it all comes down to personal perspective but I dont like certain traits.
I love long fins on betta fish but not so long that they can barely move.
I remember reading about the first balloon mollies brought from a Singapore fish farm by Herbert Axelrod in Tropical Fish Hobbyist Magazine when I was a kid. I remember thinking that they were a little grotesque, as they are just deformed molly's.
I love how big these tiny fish look - feels like I've got my nose pressed up on your glass.
Some of us enjoy the geeks science based stuff. I have just started my own line breeding project on a different species so this subject is of particular interest to me. I agree with you entirely about some of the extreme body types, I have no idea why anybody would want to intentionally breed a line of fish that can't see properly, has such a deformed body shape that they can't grow properly or such ridiculously huge finnage that they can barely swim. Just my opinion.
I like science also, so yes. I also agree about extreme traits in some lines of animals. People have done so much damage to dog lines doing this.
I am always interested when your inner geek shines.
This is the sort of expertise and science which brought me to your channel in the first place. I love it and look forward to learning more.
I must say, your White Clouds are the best I've seen...and I agree with you on some of the novelty fish. You have introduced me to so many new fish now available on the market, or private breeders.
Thanks again Rachel...🎄
This is my favorite kind of content.
Major props, I appreciate your ethical approach, trying to develop healthy genetic strains, given the aquarium difficulty and inbreeding as is.
I'd LOVE to see more about your White Cloud breeding projects! I just got my first white clouds recently, the Golden version. I'm absolutely loving them! They're so adorable! I'm thinking in the future, I may try some more breeding with them. Do you know if the Gold is dominant or recessive to the Gray? I'm assuming recessive, but I'd love to learn a bit more about how their genetics works. Longfin Goldens I think would be absolutely incredible and might be a future breeding project for me personally. 😊
thanks for great energy that you stream, Rachel.
Yes! More of these videos please. I love the enthusiasm and useful info. You've got me more excited about my white clouds now 😊
I’m geeking right along with you ... you’ve got some really gorgeous fish there! Can’t wait to see the results of the cross.
Rachel continues to unselfishly share her knowledge, experiences and future plans and expectations germane to fish keeping and breeding. I've learned and continue to learn many facets and nuances of this wonderful hobby! Thank you Rachel.
This kind of thing is very interesting, I look forward to seeing what happens next summer. Would love to see more like it!
I love this kind of content. Can't wait to see how this project develops. White clouds are one of my favourite fish and yours are stunning.
Would love to see more projects like this. Love your tubing videos and would enjoy seeing some winter breeding
Huge white cloud fan here, so please keep us posted!
I think you make some of the best content on TH-cam and I enjoy watching all of you videos. I got into you through watching content like this. Keep it rolling.
FANTASTIC video Rachel. Bravo.
Hi Rachel! I love your videos and it makes my day when i get the notification saying you uploaded!
Can't wait to see the results I'm gonna be working on my first white cloud tank in next few weeks an your videos help with that alot keep up the great work you rock Rachael
Wow! I can't believe just how diffrent the lines are! So cool. I look forward to seeing your newest strain, should really be stunning with all the gold bodies and flowing red fins. Awsome.
Thank you for this! Love it when u share your knowledge and experience of keeping and breeding fish!
🙏
Hey Rachel! Thanks so much for all the time and effort you put into your videos. They're always extremely well done and super informative. I've just gotten into the hobby in the past 4 or so months and with watching you and researching my 36 gallon is utterly thriving and I couldn't be more delighted. Cheers! Thanks again!!
You are amazing! Love these type of videos. Plus these types of videos by you and some other youtubers helped spark my interest to get into the hobby.
I love it! Can't wait to see your beautiful yellow highlights bred with the long red fins... What a gorgeous combo!!
Love your white clouds! Thanks for sharing!
I find videos like this one fascinating- I look forward to seeing these lines develop
Incredible. The colouration and fin length is wonderful!
Ahhhh, these videos are super insightful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! :-) I've been slowly inching into breeding (mostly Apistos and Plecos) and videos like these are absolute treasure troves of info.
Happy holidays, and thanks for the vid!
This video on line breeding is a great explanation of how it works, and just what you're aiming for with it. The close-ups show the colors you're getting much better than some of the other videos with them in it. In the overall shots, they look nice, with a bit more color than usual, but now we can really see their beauty. I would very much enjoy seeing videos on the other lines you're working on.
I love your white clouds and those long fins are awesome cant wait to see what they do when they combine!!
More inner geek shining please along with more video's like this one! Love your work and your passion.
Thanks so much for sharing, Marjorie
I love your more science focused videos! As a science geek and a nerd, they always fascinate me.
Every time my passion for fishkeeping cools down you post a video that piques my curiosity and by the end I'm sketching out tank ideas. Thanks for being here!
I love the breading talk! I am a new guppy breeder and want to learn all kinds of fish and ways to breed. so thank you and keep up the good work!!!!!
Awesome video! I've never had success breeding White Cloud Minnows. I think I'll add some more plants and give it a go again. Love this type of content!
Love this minnow and beginning a breeding project with this species...yay!
Wow! I am excited to see what the offspring will look like! Both are such pretty lines!
Flipn awesome. I have started Golden White Cloud breeding project because of videos like this.
Your new fish are beautiful. I would like to see more of your projects. I can't wait to see what the new cross of fish look like next summer.
Love this type of video / info that you share with us!
love the ''yellow fin'' and those cracking Longfin , the WCMM are super little fish , thanks for the vid .
I love this video! Very interesting to how good breeders carry on healthy fish. I didn't even know that they aren't in the wild anymore. Great job Rachel!♥️🐟😊 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Ty for sharing Rachel! Love me some white clouds! 🤝
I love both lines, seeing them mixed should be really interesting with your yellow and their reds
I bought a dozen whiteclouds, put them in a planted 10 gallon for quarantine, with java moss on the bottom. Fed them frozen brine shrimp, FD Plankton, Spirulna flakes and a good general flake, a different food every day on a 4 day rotation. A Neriad snail for algae control. They haven't even finished quarantine and I pulled 12 fry out today.
Very neat to see how the two combine.
Genetic as are a passion and hobby of mine, so I love seeing those videos!
Thank you this was so informative and about one of my favorite fish ever! Perfect eyeshadow moment for a white cloud spotlight too- I see you!
haha, I often coordinate my makeup with my topics but people rarely notice ;)
Fun video as always! I'd love to see more videos regarding the more "sciencey" stuff! I'm low-key kicking myself for not going with these as my first fish because they are so cool!
Enjoyed the talk!
Definitely would like more like this. Good stuff.
Thanks for showing these, Rachel! Honored to see my fish in your room! I'm sure they'll do great for you and can't wait to see what the cross with your gorgeous line produces. I always thought the long fin was a simple recessive gene but after messing with this group for 10+ seasons, it really appears to be line-bred. Once I started removing any females with clear or short fins, these really came into their own. I doubt you'll get any normally finned individuals once they reach maturity but do pull any should they pop up. Big thanks to Mike Wilson for quarantining a group and sending them your way. It was great to meet him and talk fish. He's got some of the nicest guppies and Apistos you'll see too -not to mention killies and plants you don't often come across. All of our tanks are enriched by gifting and trading fish, that's what this hobby is all about!
Thank you so much!!!
do you sell your white clouds anywhere? I really like them.
Do you sell any of them somewhere? They are gorgeous
@@christyt.3959 Only locally. These are fish that don't tolerate heat or low oxygen well, and I'm a hobby breeder, not a pro. If ever in the Asheville, NC area, feel free to drop me a line. Perhaps Rachel is shipping some?
Love ur white clouds so much! The new long fins will add spectacular traits to ur strain! Can't wait to see the results! You must keep us informed on new fry! You know that you will have to offer these new improved strain to ur viewers!!! 💜 😄
I love these types of projects. Please keep going with the “sciency” stuff!
Wow! Those white clouds are gorgeous, both yours and the new strain. I think I mix of the two will be very interesting. I can't wait to see what you get. I enjoy the geeky stuff. More please :-)
White clouds have become my favourite fish. Love your passion for the yellow in them, that's what attracted me to the ones I got. They have some light yellow tips but are still young, hope they colour up even more soon!
I got some White Cloud Mountain Minnows (just the regular colour/finned variety) a week and a half ago and we already have some babies. They're teeny tiny at the moment. They just hatch yesterday (or maybe before, but yesterday was the day I saw them all). I love my minnows. They're so full of personality.
I love these with more yellow in the fins. They're beautiful.
Both of the strains you showed are beautiful. Wishing you luck for more beautiful fish when there is a third.
I can’t wait to see how this project turns out I really would love some long fin white clouds that are that colorful.
This is a really cool video! Good on You Rach!
love your videos Rachel
Totally think that's a great idea doing breeding videos. I have always liked WCs too. can't wait to see the end result.
Thanks for your information and passion. White Clouds are beautiful and they seem to have a bright (yellow) future ahead of them ;)
Those are very unique and beautiful white clouds!
Gorgeous fish Rachel.
Fantastic video. I would love more like this.
I dig the more science orientated stuff. Keep up the good work!
Coincidentally, not only do we both like using that size of Laguna tub, but I've also been acquiring long fins from different sources over the past few months for exactly the same reason as you, Rachel. great minds must think alike! hehe
I just added a group of White Clouds to a tank I'm building up, I really really like them. So much more personality than the tetras I've usually kept. I really hope they start breeding for me too :)
The long fined minnows are stunning!
The mix of your line and the l new line with the long fins
Is going to be absolutely beautiful I just know it those long fins and the yellow color of yours is going to be friggin awesome
Just fantastic info.....(and fish).....I too love these ...... very underrated hardy fish.....thank you....
Yes, more projects like this!
I agree I find the balloon bodied fish to appear uncomfortable
Amazing to see the difference between the two strains.
Both are so beautiful!
I love white clouds! So fun and beautiful!- Little Bobby
Lovin' the "science-y" stuff!
Yes love this! Continue please!
Would love more videos like this!
All I have to say is... SING IT RACHEL!!! :) This is going to be super exciting to follow. I have always loved your strain of white clouds and wow....the ones you just got in to add to yours are amazing - I can't wait to see what comes of this duet between both lines of white clouds! I have a feeling it is going to be a smash hit :)
Awesome Rachel! I love all the science when it comes to genetics and breeding fish, thanks for sharing.
Sailfin 👍 she has some nice white clouds
amateur AQUATICS you do too!
@@sailfinaquatics thanks.👍they should get better over time hopefully .✌
These are beautiful!
I love this kind of video, and not just because I wish I had the room to try it myself.
Yep can’t wait to see the results of the crossing of 2
Yes please. I'm newish in about 2 and a half years and I am on guppies and albino Cory's right now. Working on line breeding so real beauties. I will be trying a Betta breeding soon.
Fun to see these. White clouds I would love to try them!
I love your more science-y content!
You and I love the same colors 💛🧡 :] I’m working on a line with orange fins thanks for your work!!!
How cool! I have these and mine bred recently and I read where the longfin white cloud minnows aren't particularly a danger to their fry - but only 1 lived. I think the adults did eat them.
Beautiful!
Those new males you just got in are stunning little blighters 😀
Love this project. Have always thought these little fish have such a subtle beauty. I prefer them way more to neons. White clouds have more personality and seem hardier.
Great video! I have been raising white clouds also a fish I have always loved but have wanted to “upgrade” to a more unique variety. Danios would be an interesting one to include in this topic also.
Such an underrated species, I am hoping to breed mine. Thanks for an informational and well done video!
OMG the long fin ones are Stunning! :o
