OldSalt - I can see why people think they look like neons when young. They didn't last week, but today I noticed that the biggest ones have a strong irridescent stripe down the side, and it looks like they have red bellies and tailfins. I have some pretty good photos of them from last week, but I will have to try again this week to try to capture the "baby neon" look.

Mine are the "long-finned" minnows. They don't have particularly long fins, but they do have quite a bit more red on the body than the regular white cloud mountain minnows.

I've had a bit more thought, and I thik I will keep the setup to just 2 snails in the new tank. As much as I like them, I don't want to be caring for a bunch of baby minnows and baby apple snails all in the same tank!
