Golden Mountain Minnows, also known as Golden White Clouds, are a small freshwater fish species that are native to China. These fish are a popular choice among hobbyists due to their hardy nature, peaceful temperament, and striking appearance.
These fish are best kept in a planted aquarium of at least 10 gallons, with plenty of swimming space and hiding spots such as rocks, caves, and driftwood. They are a shoaling species and should be kept in groups of at least 6 to ensure their well-being and to see their full potential.
Golden Mountain Minnows are easy to care for and make a great choice for beginner fishkeepers. They can tolerate a wide range of water conditions, but it's important to maintain good water quality through regular water changes and proper filtration.
These fish are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of foods including flake, pellets, frozen, and live foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms. A varied diet will help ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients for optimal health and coloration.
