Ambassador Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I've read through several fish profiles for White Cloud Minnows but there seem to be a lot of generalities listed ("brine shrimp but don't forget some vegetable matter, a good flake food, maybe daphnia etc.") I was just going to pickup some brine shrimp I'm not clear if I can feed that alone. Can anybody recommend some of the specific products they use for their minnows so I can be sure I'm buying the right thing or things? I'm probably making this harder than it is but just want to be sure I don't miss anything. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriendlyLoach Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I don't think there are specific foods for them, I would say the best thing would be to get a high quality staple such as a flake food or something, and then every few days feed them a good frozen food variety pack. You know something with different types of frozen food in there. If you do this for most fish it would be all good, however some fish do have really specific diets.

WhitecloudDynasty Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 .5 xtreme is good if you have a bare bottom since it fall too fast. Any tropical flakes will do, just make sure to crush it small enough for their tiny mouth. They aren't like guppy that will take on a large pieces.

So would you feed the Xtreme Nano along with some regular flakes or is it one or the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishdude Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I actually combined a mix of dried foods in a small tupperware container and drop those in for my minnows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 in my experience, white clouds arent very picky. pick out a food or two that are of decent quality, and let 'em eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howze01 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Mine loves Xtreme Nano. I also feed a brine shrimp flake and their krill flakes. I also give them frozen baby brine shrimp, cyclops and daphnia. They eat it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either or, whatever works for you. .5 xtreme drop to the gravel a bit too fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 First and foremost- the fish must eat it. So whatever they like. Second I don’t think they have a demanding diet. Third a variety with the occasional treat. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Matt Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Mine like bug bites along with bbs. They also eat Xtreme flake and Repashy community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
