About this fish
Long Fin White Cloud Mountain Minnow is the flowing finned form of one of the hardiest schooling fish in the hobby. The extended fins trail as it swims, softening the fast darting movement of the standard form into something far more graceful.
Why you will love it
- Elegant trailing finnage on a proven, hardy species
- Red and gold highlights that sharpen in cooler, well planted tanks
- Tolerates unheated setups, one of the few genuinely coldwater friendly schoolers
- Peaceful and easy, an excellent first schooling fish
Care at a glance
