Description
The Pseudolaubuca sinensis, also known as the Chinese White Minnow, is a slender, silvery schooling fish native to major river systems in China. It features a distinctive yellowish lateral stripe and thrives in cooler, flowing freshwater environments. This active species requires a well-maintained aquarium with ample swimming space and a group of its own kind.
