    WHITE CLOUD MOUNTAIN MINNOW

    Origins:Asia, occuring in the White Cloud Mountain region and Canton, China.
    Size: 1 & 1/4"
    Diet: Flake and livefoods.
    Water:Temperature 64-77F;soft (50 mg/l) and acidic (pH 6.0-6.5)
    Temperament:Peaceful and social.

    The original form of the White Cloud Mountain Minnow has pale yellow edges on its fins, but a strain found in Hong Kong, which developed from aquarium escapees, displays red fin-edging.
    Females are not as brightly colored as males.
    These Rasboras can be kept in much cooler waters than most, down to 40F, but for breeding the optimum temperature is about 70F.
    They spawn among vegetation, with the eggs hatching just over a day after being laid.

    Note>Deep red area on Tail.
