The "24 Karat White Cloud" is a selectively bred color variant of the White Cloud Mountain Minnow (Tanichthys albonubes), a popular and hardy freshwater fish species. This variant is characterized by its bright golden or yellow coloration, which resembles the shine of 24 karat gold. It's a result of selective breeding efforts to enhance specific color traits in the fish. Here's some information about the 24 Karat White Cloud:
Appearance: The 24 Karat White Cloud exhibits a vibrant golden or yellow coloration, which sets it apart from the natural silver and olive-brown coloration of the standard White Cloud Mountain Minnow.
Size: Like the standard White Cloud, the 24 Karat variant grows to an average length of about 1.5 to 2 inches (3.8 to 5 cm).
Habitat: The care requirements for the 24 Karat White Cloud are similar to those of the standard White Cloud Mountain Minnow. They are native to cool, clear mountain streams in China.
Behavior: These fish are peaceful and active swimmers. They are well-suited for community aquariums with other non-aggressive fish species.
Tank Setup: Provide a well-planted aquarium with open swimming spaces and hiding spots provided by decorations and plants. They are relatively hardy and can tolerate a range of water conditions.
Water Conditions: Maintain good water quality with a pH range of around 6.0 to 7.5 and a temperature between 64 to 72°F (18 to 22°C). They can tolerate cooler temperatures compared to many other tropical fish.
Diet: 24 Karat White Clouds are omnivorous and accept a variety of foods. Offer them high-quality flakes, pellets, and supplement their diet with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia.
Tankmates: They are generally compatible with other peaceful community fish that share similar water conditions. Avoid keeping them with larger or aggressive fish that might outcompete them for food.
The 24 Karat White Cloud is a visually appealing variant of the standard White Cloud Mountain Minnow. Like their wild-type counterparts, they are relatively easy to care for and are suitable for aquariums with cooler water temperatures. Providing them with a well-maintained environment and a balanced diet will allow them to thrive and display their vibrant colors in the aquarium.
