Zev Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Hmmm, I don't think my White Clouds flare like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danval Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Haha. I havnt seen any minnows flaring like that either! Computer enhanced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 They seem to have longer finnage than mine. Maybe I will have to take some videos and slow them down to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danval Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 The video says Tanichthys albonubes but maybe they are Meteor Minnows?. Is there a scientific name for them or is the scientific name the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 They are a long finned variant of the WCMM, as are Sunset WCMMs, same scientific name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I have seen long finned mountain minnows in NZ not for a long time though, I am pretty sure it is the type of thing that if you don't selectively breed for it disappears eventually..

danval Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I think you are right. I have never heard of them in the fish shops, but have heard of people speaking of them on this site, but have yet to see any pics. If anyone out there has some pics they would like to share....
