White Cloud Mountain Minnow

Hello

I have a few in my tank.
The last week or so they have been acting differently, and a few have gotten quite fat, similar to guppies, but obviously these are not live bearers but spawn eggs onto plants.

So a few questions;

A: how do you sex them?
B: what kind of behaviour is expected when the are spawning?
C: if it is the case, wat do I feed the fry?


Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

You are in luck with White Clouds. They are extremely easy to spawn. The females will all be fat and round, the males will be slimmer and more streamlined. They will rush into the foliage and quiver around in there for a few seconds. They don't generally eat their eggs or fry, but you got to keep the adults well fed.

The fry are easy to feed. Get yourself some liquifry Nr 1 for egglayers. And then just finely crushed flake food.

Hope that helps.

 

thanks, I'm sure it will
