Long Fin White Cloud Minnows Aquarium / Bowl Setup:
I finished setting up aquatic plants in my 15-gallon bowl about 6 months ago. This bowl has enough space for keeping & breeding small fish. Aquatic plants are completely grown up, & the fish bowl has fully cycled.
I decided to add a mini filter that has
an adjustable flow rate & directional flow in my fish bowl aquarium. This
filter includes a spray bar that can silently distribute water from the outlet.
After the fish bowl ecosystem was completely developed, I bought locally bred
long fin white cloud minnows & added them to my fish bowl. The long fins of
the fish seem attractive. Soon one of the females gives birth to a group of
little babies. There was no problem with keeping matured white cloud minnows
with the babies, & in a couple of months, I saw a few more groups of
babies.
