Great video. I've been a hobbyist for decades, but I still keep a shoal of the beautiful fish in a small, heavily-planted tank along with a Betta and a few pygmy corys and it's one of my favorite tanks I've maintained.
Nice, I love plants but fish def adds another dimension to the tank.
What temperature have you been keeping your Betta with your minnows?
I have a 16 gallon tank with patties, mollies, a tetra , and a danio, 8 altogether. Can I put the white clouds in there with them? white
Great information. I like the style you did this in. Better than other channels. Especially liked the quick look at the history and origins. Sometimes we kinda forget about where things originate from and take it for granted.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, made it worth it. 🙏🙏🙏
@@TankTastic what would be the tank mates for them ?
I have 3 mollies & 3 albino Cory cats & looking to get some
rainbow shiners later on would they all go together ?
I really like the species profile of the fish you keep and your experience. I just bought my first set of white clouds - the gold variety. They are juveniles and I’m excited to see them grow and keep them. Keep up the good work and interesting videos! :)
🙏🙏🙏
I recently got 6 of them in my 20gal, love their behavior, always playful.
Their personality really kicks in, when I do my wc, they all come up to my hand...never scared.
Mine are the same always chasing each other around
Thanks for the video. I actually live about 10 minutes from Green Point and got mine from the same feral population you mentioned. They're thriving in my coldwater tank
Woah those are some beautiful fish, definitely have learn a lot from your videos. Keep up the awesome work.
🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for this very informative video.
you're welcome!
Excellent info thanks!
Such a great video. Great facts. Well done
Thank you!
Great video. Thank you. I just adopt my first 7 white cloud minnows in golden. Bonjour from Quebec city! 💁🏻♀️🇨🇦/🇫🇷
Excellent profile video, I love White Clouds such an awesome fish. I have a group in the tank in my kitchen, they are beautiful and fun to watch.
Absolutely, super explorative fish. Never scared of anything.
Should be picking some of these up soon
You the man bro, very educational
Thank you! Yea it’s def a cool story for these fishes.
Loved this thank you
Welcome 😁, thanks for watching
My wife is from Guangdong so next time I go over there, I want to go and check out some of the streams to get an idea of how they really look for making a true biotope tank. They've been one of my favorite aquarium fish since I was in the hobby.
Might have to go check it out when I go there!
@@TankTastic Definitely. I lived in a Belize and I loved the mangrove habitats and seeing all the fish there. It's really cool to see things like that.
Oh absolutely, Im a city kid. Totally deprived of nature
@@TankTastic I grew up farming so I got to dig in the dirt my whole childhood. Had irrigation canals so would get crawdads from the bottom when it was low. I had fun haha
This is awesome thank you
welcome
Awesome fish tanks!
Thank you!!!
My favourite fish. 👍✌️
Nice video bro. 👊🏻
Thank you my man!
my minnows love swimming through the monte carlo carpets
I want to get some of those long fin variety hopefully for my aquascape one day
The long fins are nice. The ones I have was labeled long fin by the LFS, but I doubt that. So be careful of how some people label things.
Ty!
Welcome!
Those (your) White Clouds are beautiful. I would love to have some someday. I have 4 baby fish in my tank. I used to think there were only two of them. They are guppies I think, and should be blue. I first saw them 3 weeks ago.
White clouds and guppies procreate pretty easily. I’m usually not good at fish keeping, but these fish are doing awesome. My friend Jarrod originally recommended them to me and boy am I glad he did.
Got 8 the other day. Had to cull one as it didn't seem right. I have multiple tanks but plan to put them into my 30 gallon when I rescape it. They will be sharing it will apisto Borellii, Hillstream loaches and shrimp. Temp will be around 70- 72. Hoping to breed both White Clouds and apistos.
Sounds like a good home!
White clouds are a great fish to keep hardy little suckers. Very good job on this video! What part of NY are you from? I'm in Brooklyn.
Oh snap, BK all day!
love it keep it up. how about danios
Celestial pearls? I would def want to get some for the next tank. A huge group of them would be dope.
Gracias por los subtítulos en español
Have seen/had any white clouds jumping out of a rimless tank? Planning to stock my 16 gallon with these, but some ppl say these guys can jump out.
Also do you run a heater with these guys? I live in NY too and the temp of my tank is around 70 rn, so I'm thinking I don't have to stick a heater in. Love the vids btw, would love more of these!!
Def do not run a heater, they like cooler temp with max I would say 72, 75 would be pushing it and above that is dangerous (ask me how I know lol). Also I have no issues with these guys jumping. BUT, I would think any fish will jump...I’ve had rummy nose, SAE, ottos jump on me before.
@@TankTastic thanks will do, makes sense that most fish will jump
Would these mix with variates platy?
I'd like to see a photo of a new born fry. Can't find one anywhere.
Thanks ☯️🌿🐟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟☮🎬🏆
3:16, I believe properly outcrossed fish live the longest. The same can be said for fish that survive overwintering and the heat of summer. The long fin varieties ware out quicker and are more inbred.
Dear Sir:
I’ve kept white clouds for a few years, now (though I previously had them for a while, years ago). This time I’ve given special attention to breeding them. Don of NYGOLD had great success starting the fry on pulverized, flake food, so I tried that. I had very limited success. But, once I began culturing vinegar eels (Turbatrix aceti), getting fry large enough to consume live brine shrimp nauplii is easy (if I can catch them before the adults). Though this species will often ignore the fry, I feed mine live brine shrimp often, so the adults have become accustomed to live food.
Thank you for producing this, informative, interesting video. I really appreciate you sharing the history of this, terrific fish.
All my best,
Sincerely,

P.S. May I know your name?
Nice to meet you brother! Ppl call me Swang 😁
I got an aggressive male in a group of eleven. I’ve read that I can try increasing the numbers so I doubled that but he is still aggressive! Lmaooo
My tank is at 82 degrees and my 4 24 karat gold white clouds r doing fantastic they eat and do what there supposed to do to bad there all females tho
Did your minnows breed yet? What are factors that could help them reproduce?
They did not, I’m not good with breeding but I heard if the temp goes on the higher end they tend to go at it. They usually breed from spring to fall in the wild I believe.
Are these shrimp safe?
100% safe
I read somewhere that these fish went well with goldfish because of similar water parameters. Bad idea... The goldfish ate them all. 😟
😳😳😳 oh wow, the goldfish must of been hungry. Yea they like parameters similar to goldfishes
@@TankTastic Goldfish are not hungry for only about 1 hour after feeding. 🙂 This is the main reason my wife loves them. She also enjoys eating. 😃
😂😂😂 Bro, that made my day. Thank you hahahhahha
@Gen M One comet and one shubunkin.
@Gen M Once it ate even a pelvicachromis pulcher cichlid that I tried to add. I was shocked. It was a rather large fish. But by the morning it had just disappeared. Poor chap. I replaced it with a cichlasoma meeki, which is larger. There is no way it can be eaten. It seems to prosper so far.
I love my little minnow but absolutely cannot stand people who sell them saying they are going to be happy in a small 5 gallon tank.
the place I got mine from asked size of my tank I told them its 15 but filter can handle a bigger bioload they said that was perfect for the amount I had ordered which was 12. 3 months on they couldn't be happier and recently got joined by 6 shrimp
Why? A small group of 6 would be fine, they don't get much bigger than an inch and they aren't aggressive. This idea of each fish needs it's own person gallon per inch is just bs. You can't keep a 10 inch pleco in a 10 gallon, but you sure can keep more than 10 nano fish in a 10 gallon.
I think anything smaller than a 5 gallon shouldn't have any fish as even nano fish should have a minimum swimming space, but that doesn't mean each fish needs it's own personal 2 gallons of space. That really only applies to large territorial fish.
Before you call me defense, I have 6 in a 15 gallon indoor pond. I don't keep any fish in my 5 gallon, but I don't think it's wrong to keep a small group of small fish in one. Just like any tank as long as it's full of plants hiding spots and a minimum swinging length it's fine.
Second part of the scientific name should be lower-case. Also, totally should have been albopubes, instead of albonubes. Lol😂
True on the lower case, but whats albopubes? White pubes? Lol
You should need a permit to keep any animal because yall can't dispose of pets properly.
