About
The Golden White Cloud is a selectively bred colour morph of Tanichthys albonubes in which the normal silver-blue body colouration is replaced by a warm yellow-gold. The characteristic red fin tips and fine iridescent lateral line are retained, creating a warm golden palette. Identical to the standard White Cloud in all care aspects, it is equally hardy, peaceful, and suitable for unheated aquaria.
