Top view....white cloud?

[WhitecloudDynasty]

Yay or Nay?

Side project ... mini butterfly koi look-a-like

I'm not usually a fan of longfin anything but that looks pretty cool to me! 

[Fonske]

I love everything longfin, but never thought they would look so good from above. Gives me ideas about my longfin danios...

Theyll work too, but you'll have to breed some color to their fin to show up more

I love long fin white clouds! Have a few myself. They look like flying fish from above.

[Pete]

WOW! Those are gorgeous. I never knew long fin White Clouds could look like that!

 

[Sleepy]

Longfin White Clouds are some of the next in line for me to keep didnt know they looked this nice from above I like the way the look just normal lol great looking fish!

[Dancing Matt]

I was moving a golden male to a pond and his (short) fins were flared out. It was so cool I had to show my wife. White clouds really are neat!

[GameCzar]

Gorgeous fish!  I agree with @BM3, it does look like a flying fish from above!

[CalmedByFish]

Those are so cool! Are they plenty hardy enough to keep in a pond?

[Streetwise]

@WhitecloudDynasty is a master breeder, as far as I am concerned!

Yes they do great in ponds

[Beardedbillygoat1975]

Combining that with how much they look like koi, that fish is really amazing. 

I've often thought it'd be cool to have little koi look-alikes in a pond. I assumed that if I ever did that, I'd have to stick with something like splotchy-colored platies. These fish are next level.

Those are some amazing white clouds. 😍 I have some 24k ones and I love them!

[Patrick_G]

Very pretty! They would look great in a shallow pond style tank. 

[Beardedbillygoat1975]

@CalmedByFishcertainly some ricefish give you that almost koi look. Agree on the platys. Those yellow fins with with red and greys - rad!

Depending on how little you want to go, you could do comets or Shubunkin gold fish as "koi-look-alikes". I bought some feeder goldfish early on (in my fish keeping journey) and a few turned out to have longer fins (comets?) and fun patterning looking a lot like koi (at least for now, I guess their coloring could change).

Thanks for the idea. When I'm finally able to get a pond, it'll have to be small, and I'd like a species that can reproduce itself so I don't have to anticipate needing to quarantine newbies.

I'm thinking something like medaka for their ease of reproduction and hardiness. There's a slight chance I'd do a less-small fish like platies, but I'd have to think more about temperature... and I don't like *having* to think. 😂

I agree with the longfin I have pleco and guppy longfins those are the only ones I ever had longfin and the fins beg to have issues. I would not do longfins again but those are som really beautiful fish you have.

So.... I need more pictures of this beautiful baby and need to know where I can send my husband to go to get a few for me for our anniversary. 😛

[drewzero1]

Wow! Those top view pictures are stunning! I've been keeping plain white clouds around a year and a half and have recently been contemplating adding some longfins into the mix. Pushing me closer to a decision, I think. Would love to see some side views of your coloration too.
