Extra 5 Gallon

[Loko17]

Ok I have an extra 5 gallon tank and I have been P'd off by things that wont work when I was looking on a site about fish I came across white clouds, can i put some in my tank and if so how many are recommended? Man I hope this works. Oh and also are they common enough to find in my LFS?

If they are the only thing in the tank you could have 5 or 6 and they'd be fine. Do you know what I'd do, though? I'd go with 4, and add some ghost shrimp. They like similarly low temperatures, and they should eat the flakes right along with the fish. Give them some driftwood and plants for security. It would be nice.

Yes, time to plan the tank and learn all about these fish, And yes I will get some ghost shrimp.

They wouldnt be that happy with anything less.

I have a group of three and they seem happy in the way that minnows do. It is hard to say how large of a group they need in order to be happy. White clouds aren't exactly big on conveying emotion. They mainly just swim.
