This is the cold water tank in my living room and the minnows love to congregate here when the Sun Shines on the tank corner

Love the title. Minnows are underrated goofy little guys.

Appreciate it! These are some of my favorite fish to watch and they have a completely different attitude then any of the tropical fish I have kept. If they do allow themselves to get bullied by a zebra danio though so that's kind of funny. It's a bit amusing watching a fish that's literally a third of their size push them around

I have white cloud mountain minnows. They are very energetic. When they come to the surface to grab food the quickly dart down again after every bite. They also poke at my platinum medaka who jumped a little above the water in my indoor pond the other day lol.
