SC Fish Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Gold white cloud mountain minnow , white cloud mountain minnow and 1 black mountain minnow , most of these show their dorsal and lower fins (not sure what they are called) they manage to show them most days , I'm wondering why they show them to the other fish ? some sort of aggression? maybe a dominance thing? i have 2 that keep them out at all times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 It more than likely displaying for the females or other males in the tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC Fish Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) @Colu i belive they are all males. but i may be mistaken, possibly showing off to the female platys? i doubt it tho @nabokovfan87i cant take a photo of him as i dont have a phone on me but he looks like this Edited May 22, 2022 by SC Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Young males . They will display just because. Reflection, another male or female. With correct water, temperature and food supply (and BTW, for white clouds- this isn’t hard) they are always ready to spawn. So regardless of what they see - they have that - Hey look at me Attitude. And that also makes them great fish. Always wanting to display and really not much aggression. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Oh and a side note- their fry, amazing looking. when I started spawning white clouds I was already spawning neon tetras. If I didn’t know better I would have thought I mixed up the spawning mops. The fry when they first developed color are incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
