I'm keen on keeping 2 black moors and 3-4 white cloud mountain minnows in
the same tank. Any views as to compatibility, etc?

Thanks

the temp requirements are the same, both do well at cooler temps. the
amount of ammonia that the black moors excrete tho isnt good for the
minnows. and when the black moors get big enough to swallow the minnows im
sure they will.

don't know about moors but I had comets in a 25 go tank and added a few
white clouds and the comets immediately ate a couple of them before I could
catch and remove them.

Hi, I have kept fantial goldfish and white clouds in the past no problem,
the white clouds are quick and keep out the way of the bigger fish, the
moors being slow, unless they are very big, you should have no probs.

Go for it. I had a bug eyed moor in my tropical tank for years and
it didn't even go after fry.... too lazy I reckon :-)

Goldfish and Tropicals should not be mixed - period!
Goldfish produce massive amounts of wastes, and this will affect
your tropicals. Black Moors can grow to 10inchs in optimum conditions
and will normally eat anything that fits in their mouths.

White cloud mountain minnows are coldwater fish
