The Longfin White Cloud Mountain Minnow (Tanichthys albonubes) is a graceful, tank-bred variant of the classic White Cloud, featuring extended, flowing fins that bring added movement and elegance to the aquarium. Their streamlined bodies are accented by a subtle metallic sheen and a signature horizontal stripe, creating a clean, timeless look. This variety combines the hardiness and adaptability of traditional White Clouds with a more refined appearance. Known for their active schooling behavior and ability to thrive in a wide range of temperatures, they are an excellent choice for both indoor aquariums and unheated setups.
