Freshwater Fish
White Cloud Mountain Minnow.
A hardy, cool-water minnow with red fins and a subtle stripe — one of the toughest beginner fish, and happy without a heater in a temperate room. Peaceful and best in a lively school in a 10-gallon-plus tank.

Good tank mates
White clouds are peaceful and community-safe, with the twist that they like cooler water, so they do best with other cool-water or temperate-tolerant fish rather than warm tropicals. Good company is other small, peaceful, cool-friendly fish and small schoolers; real examples that work are zebra danios, other white clouds in a bigger group, and small peaceful rasboras. Avoid larger or aggressive fish, skip fin-nippers, and don't keep them with anything big enough to eat a one-and-a-half-inch minnow.
Good to know
White Cloud Mountain minnows are a temperate species that can be kept without a heater in a room that stays around normal house temperature.
